c. Projects will be assessed by DCTV on the basis of how they will further community television. The focus is on the production process, who will make the programmes, how the values of the station will be found in the project. In particular DCTV is interested in projects which demonstrate a path to sustainability and ongoing productions after the sound and vision funding is finished.
