About Us

VALLEY VISION is a non-profit 501(c)(3) production company that produces Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) television programming for Conway, Albany, Bartlett, and Fryeburg on channels 3 and 1301. We are funded primarily by cable franchise fees provided by the Town of Conway. We also receive contributions from the towns of Albany and Fryeburg, as well as business sponsors and our members. No part of Valley Vision’s budget is derived from tax dollars.

Valley Vision’s broadcast schedule is available on this website, in addition to the Conway Daily Sun and on the channel 1301 community calendar.
