Community Bulletin Board

Andover Television is a non-profit public access service. Our 'Community Bulletin Board' is intended to keep Andover residents in touch with events and services in town. Area residents or non-profit organizations can submit announcements that are relevant to the community.

  • We prefer non-animated JPEG images. Powerpoint or Keynote slides are also acceptable. (Use large text fonts).
  • Size must be no larger than 720 x 486 pixels.
  • Keep your text and graphics within the green boarder (TV Safe Area) or it may get cut off.
  • Do not use full white backgrounds or it will look washed-out.
  • Darker backgrounds or gradients with off-white/grey/colored text is better with a drop shadow for contrast.
  • Don't use bright colors; softer, less saturated images and text are better. (TV's don't have the same color range as your computer).
  • Over saturated colors or harsh black text on white backgrounds will be washed-out and not be legible.

    • All text announcements must be able to fit into a Standard Definition TV Frame Size. (4:3)
    This means roughly 8 lines of text with 35 characters per line (counting spaces). If you have any questions before designing one for yourself please contact the Programming Director below. Thank you.
