  Bernard Avalle's fondest memories go back to his early childhood when he got a toy from a parade vendor.
  
  "I was one of those kids who had to have a souvenir plastic sword," said Avalle.
  
  Now the executive director of PCTV and his staff spends weeks preparing the parade's live broadcast, a skill he learned in the early 1980's while at WWLP-TV in Springfield when it used to televise the St. Patrick's Day Parade from Holyoke.

  Bernard Avalle, executive director of Pittsfield Community Television, glimpsed the changed landscape of the new age of media while working on the crew of the live broadcasts of the girls softball world series this summer.
  
  "I was watching the televised feed we were sending out on PCTV," he recalled.
  ...
  "This has changed our ability to reach audiences," said Avalle.
  ...
  Avalle noted that some residents of Ballina, the Irish sister city of Pittsfield, regularly watch city programs.
  ...
  "It's an interactive side of PCTV," noted Avalle.
  
  Serre and Avalle emphasized that primary focus of PCTV continues to be its cable channels; the online services are an auxiliary service to that.
  ...
  "Our primary mission continues to be serving the community via our cable channels," said Avalle.
  ...
  "That has made it possible to integrate the programming and streams into the web site more easily," Avalle said.

  "Tell us what you need; we got it," Avalle said.
  
  Membership is required for direct use of PCTV's facilities and equipment via Access Pittsfield. An individual membership is $15 a year, and organizational memberships also are available, Avalle said. There is no charge for a member of the public to appear as a guest on a show on the channel; however, the person "making" the show has to be a member.
  
  The more membership money that PCTV has, the more employees, equipment and better facilities that it can have, Avalle said.
