Founded by Ken Marsh, Woodstock Community Video (WCV) was a Woodstock, New York community video organization active in the early 1970s; members included Barbara Buckner, Bob Dacy, Gary Hill, Steven Kolpan and Elaine Milosh, and Tobe Carey served as Media Services Coordinator from 1972–75. WCV produced local public-access programming, began cablecasts from the system headend in May 1972 and later obtained a Town Hall origination line; it organized the Artists' TV Lab (established 1973 with NYSCA support, moved to Rhinebeck c.1976) and presented the Woodstock Video Expovision festival (1975–77).
