FRAMINGHAM, MA - Framingham Public Access Corporation has chosen Bill McColgan to lead Framingham's non-profit public access cable station. McColgan brings over twenty years of broadcast journalism and management experience to FPAC. "I'm very excited by the potential for FPAC to be an outstanding resource to the Town of Framingham," says McColgan.

We give the community a voice and a way to communicate."

His previous positions include Director of Programming Development and Executive Producer for Comcast's CN8 regional sports network, Regional Manager of News and Public Affairs for AT&T Broadband, and Community Program Manager for several public access stations around Greater Boston.

"Bill brings a great mix of talent and experience to the organization, and the Board believes that his energy, expertise and professionalism make him the ideal leader to develop FPAC's potential as a valuable community asset."
