HARDWICK – “Lance MacKenzie will be filling the roll [sic] of [HCTV] Executive Director. Lance has been a field producer with HCTV for a year now, so you may know him as ‘Lance on Camera,’” said an October 31 email message and a blog post on the Hardwick Community Television (HCTV) website.
The appointment comes less than two months after the station celebrated its twentieth anniversary with the release of a video titled “HCTV Celebrates 20 Years” that is available on the station’s YouTube channel @hardwickcommunitytelevision.
May 27, 2026, will mark 20 years since Hardwick Town Manager Dan Hill and Hardwick Select Board Chair Todd Delerichliere joined then-HCTV Station Manager Robin Grant for a ribbon cutting to open HCTV’s third floor studio and office in the Hardwick Memorial Building.
Minutes of the September 24 HCTV meeting indicate “[former director] Macy [Molleur] has moved out of state, and has continued working for HCTV remotely, but that is wrapping up. A job posting for the position of executive director received four applicants. Jim and Rachel will meet with one applicant soon, and will report back to the board.” No further information was available about activity between that meeting and the announcement.
HCTV is a community access PEG (Public, Education, Government) cable TV station and media center, serving Hardwick, Woodbury and Greensboro. It operates as a nonprofit, funded by cable subscribers, underwriters and donors to cover local meetings, Hazen Union sports and community events.
Paul Fixx is editor of The Hardwick Gazette and lives in Hardwick.
