The Bowie Community Media Corporation (BCMC) was established in 2003 as a non-profit organization. The first board of directors was appointed by the incorporators who filed the Articles of Incorporation with the State of Maryland and the tax-exempt application with the IRS. The corporation is governed by the board of directors, representing the membership of the organization. Each board member contributes to the operation of the cable channel in unique ways. The operations activities include updating the video bulletin board that displays member and programming announcements on Bowie Channel 77, scheduling the time slots of programs using a computerized scheduling database, encouraging the participation of corporate sponsors of the Bowie 77, promoting the channel through various media, and initiating fundraising efforts, events, and receptions.

Say What?!?!?!?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there’s billions of stars in the universe, you believe them. But if they tell you there’s wet paint somewhere you have to touch it?
