Many people near and far rely on MRVTV to keep up with local happenings or to share school or community events with friends and family. “These are some of the reasons why Mad River Valley TV (MRVTV) makes sure all the content we produce is available for viewing online so everyone can be connected, near and far,” explained station executive director Rob Perry.
