Community Bulletin Board Submission

Connect with your community.

The ACMi Community Bulletin Board is a free service available to anyone who wishes to communicate with Arlington, MA public television viewers. It can be telecast any of our three channels in between episodes 24 hours, 7 days a week. If you are interested in submitting a message to air on ACMi’s video bulletin board, please email cbb@acmi.tv.

Each CBB slide must be a 16:9 landscape orientation, 1920px wide by 1080px tall, with a minimum font size of 22pt, and should leave a large enough margin so content doesn’t get clipped off by older TVs (about 1 inch). When submitting your slide, please submit a .JPG, or .PNG file.

Creating a Slide

We encourage you to be creative with your slides, but contact us for a set of templates for Microsoft Powerpoint and Word, as well as for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Additionally, there are third-party online resources such as Canva and SumoPaint where you can easily design a slide that fits your message.

Community Bulletin Board Guidelines

– All individuals and organizations may submit messages to the CBB, membership is not required.
– Submit a message at least 10 days before you want it posted to the channel(s).
