We want your videos!

2010-04-30T13:40:00.004-05:00

Are you an aspiring filmmaker? Maybe you're a parent that films your child's summer activities? Bring in your home videos or film projects and we can add them to our library of local content for our Video On Demand service and if it's good enough, we'll air it on WCTV. Call 456-1000 or 437-3168 and ask for Shawn to see if we can get your video on the air.

Is your home wireless network secure?

2010-04-30T13:25:00.000-05:00

More and more homes have wireless routers so that you can connect to the Internet from anywhere in your house. But have you taken the time to secure your wireless connection so that neighbors and strangers can’t connect to you and use up your bandwidth and even worse, potentially harm your computer.

Call WTC today and we will assist you in securing your wireless router so that only those computers and users you authorize will be allowed to access your Internet connection. It only takes a matter of minutes to do but it will save you hours and hours of future headaches.

Just ask for one of the WTC Net Heads – Dustin, Jim, Olin or Shawn – when you call 456-1000 or 437-3168 between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm.
