Ron Cox: Executive Director
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."
Anne has been a part of the MATV staff since 1991, and we would all be lost without her broad knowledge and quiet leadership. Anne has a degree in Radio, TV, and Film from Northwestern University and a Masters degree in Mass Communication from Emerson College. Anne has worked with children and adolescents using media production as a tool for social growth and development. Besides directing our training program at MATV, Anne works to develop new programs and collaborative projects with other local organizations. She coordinates the MATV Gallery, does grantwriting, and publishes the newsletter. Anne lives in Malden with her husband and two children.
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.

Lindsay graduated from Regis College with a double major in Communications and Theatre. She worked at Methuen Community Television for 2 and a half years as the Membership Coordinator where she helped build MCTV from rubble into a functioning facility that is now in full bloom. Coming to MATV in 2004, Lindsay started out as the Ed./Gov. Diva. After a year, the decision was made to separate the 2 positions. As the Educational Access Coordinator, she has been able to help shape the youth of Malden into young producers. Working within the schools, Lindsay has the unique opportunity to meet with a majority of the young Malden community who are unable to get to MATV’s facility. “The best part of my job is seeing how excited the students are when they are watching their first final program. Their little eyes light up. It makes every other day worth it.”
Brian Biggie is a Malden Catholic graduate who went on to receive a Communications Degree in Media Production from Endicott College. A former MATV youth member, Brian now runs our Channel 16 and produces Government-related shows like City Council, School Committee, Beacon Hill Perspective and numerous Chamber of Commerce Events. His newest project is called: "Giving Back" and highlights the Malden charity group Bread of Life. He is very proud of the fact that he has turned Sandy, his long-time girlfriend from Connecticut, into a die-hard Red Sox fan. He also spends his free time reading, watching movies and preparing to stop the inevitable robot uprising.
