*Southborough Access Media will broadcast the Planning Board meeting live on Verizon-37 and Charter-192. At this point, it is the only meeting I have confirmed that SAM is covering. I have reached out to confirm the schedule. If they plan to record/broadcast any other meetings, I’ll update this post.

Updated (3/12/19 7:52 am): I was able to get more information from SAM. Producers will be covering the School Committee meeting (for delayed broadcast) and the Friday morning BOS meeting (live). Last night’s Public Safety Committee meeting was also recorded for delayed broadcast.
