For many years, beginning in 1989, Ron was an active member of MATV where he hosted and produced the long-running "Live On Tape" show, which featured many local guests and entertainers. Ron also served on the MATV Board of Directors from 1992 - 1998, including two years in the role of Board President. In 1993, he became the Program Director at Wakefield Community Access Television, where he served for three years, and then moved to Salem Access Television, where he served as the Director of Training & Production. Along the way, Ron moved out of Malden, up to Gloucester, where he still lives with his wife, Pat. In 2003, Ron returned to WCAT, this time in the Executive Director role. Ron successfully negotiated a license agreement with Verizon at WCAT, experience he now brings to Malden, as we continue our license re-negotiation process with Comcast.
Ron's passion for community television has been evident throughout his tenure in the field. Originally trained as a social worker, but always delving into art, animation, and video production, Ron was able to meld his two interests with many of the programs he has done with youth at Malden, Salem, and Wakefield. Ron has taught hundreds of kids of all ages to write, film, perform, and edit their own movies. "To me, it was natural to inspire kids to create their own videos," he says. "One of the most rewarding things has been to take something I love, video production, and match it with something I did in my previous life - working with kids."
As the Station Manager, Terlonzo is an essential leader of this organization. He is also responsible for purchasing, repairing and upgrading all video equipment as well as keeping the facility tuned up.
