BACKGROUND:
Roanoke Valley Television, RVTV-3, serves Roanoke County, Roanoke City, the Town

Station. The station is located at the Jefferson Center, and is staffed by five full time
staff members. RVTV-3 produces original video productions, monthly television shows,
and covers live government meetings. Programming is cable cast on Cox

which includes representatives from the County, the City, and the Town. Mr. Jason
Peters represents the Board of Supervisors, Ms. Amy Whittaker represents Roanoke
County Administration, and Mr. David Jones is the Member at Large. The operational
budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and is funded through the
Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax paid by Cox Communications. The budget
amount paid by each locality is based on the proportion of Cox customers located in
each jurisdiction. Roanoke County's share of the cable budget is 44%. RVTV-3 staff
are included in the County's payroll and benefit system.

Re: Approved FY 2017-2018 Operating Budget
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Roanoke Valley Television, RVTV Channel 3, is a Government & Educational Access Station, serving the City
of Roanoke, Roanoke County, Town of Vinton, and their respective School Systems. In 1992, the three
localities signed an agreement to form a Government & Educational Access Station, and RVTV-3 was created
in 1993.
The operational budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and it is funded through the
Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Revenue paid by Cox Communications. The RVTV budget
amount paid by each locality is based on the percentage of Cox Customers located in each jurisdiction.
RVTV has five full-time staff members. RVTV-3 produces Original Videos, Monthly Television Shows, and
covers LIVE Government Meetings.
Roanoke Valley Television produced the following in 2016:
• 81 Original Television Shows
(11) Inside Roanoke, (12) Roanoke County Today, (12) Spotlight On City Schools, (12) Accent

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed FY2017/2018 Operating Budget request is $420,857.
Roanoke County is the fiscal agent for Roanoke Valley Television, and RVTV positions are included in the
County's Classification Plan. The last full review of RVTV job positions took place in 1997. The Human
Resources Department researched salary data on a regional basis to benchmark RVTV positions. Additionally,
Internal job duties were compared to other County jobs. Job descriptions have been revised to include new
technology and more accurately describe how RVTV serves several entities. It is the recommendation of the
Roanoke County Human Resources Department that all RVTV job positions increase three grades.
The budget includes closed captioning services for Roanoke City Council & Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors meetings.
On January 1, 2007, the Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Act of 2006 (Va. Code 58.1-645 et seq.)
required Cox Communications, as well as other cable television providers, to pay a five percent (5%) sales or
use tax to the Commonwealth of Virginia in place of paying franchise fees to the localities, including the City of
Roanoke, County of Roanoke, and Town of Vinton. Under the Act, the Commonwealth pays the amount of
revenues it receives from cable television providers, like Cox, to the localities.
The operational budget for RVTV is provided by the three local governments, and it is funded through the
Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax Revenue paid by Cox Communications. The RVTV budget
amount paid by each locality is based on the percentage of Cox Customers located in each jurisdiction.
Cox calculates the percentage of Subscribers (December 31, 2016) in each locality as follows:
Locality
2015 Percentage
2016 Percentage
City
52.17%
52%
County
43.61%
44%
Vinton
4.22%
4%
Based on the above percentages, each member's contribution to the FY2017/2018 budget of $420,857
is:
Locality
2016/2017 Budget
2017/2018 Budget
City
$209,225
$218,846
County
$174,895
$185,177
Vinton
$16,924
$16,834
Total
$401,044
$420,857
*In addition to the City's share of the above budget of $420,857, the City will also pay $2,136 for closed
captioning for City Council Briefings.
RVTV Financial Report - Current Account Balances as of December 31, 2016
C817-9601 (Operating Budget)...........................................................$238,445.28
C817-9603 (Cox Cable Capital Equipment Grant)...............................$981,915.05
C817-9604 (Operating Reserve)..........................................................$66,022.08
(Operating Reserve Balance to be maintained is 20% of the Operating Budget)
The Operating Reserve Account represents the unused funds from the Operating Budget since 1993. RVTV
does not lose these funds at the end of the fiscal year, rather they are rolled over into the Operating Reserve
Account.
