Petaluma Community Media is a member organization. We provide our members with the tools, training, and platforms they need to produce media, and our members create the programming we share with the community. Members also sustain the organization through financial support, volunteer work, and a voice in how Petaluma Community Media is governed.
Membership gives you access to studio equipment, hands-on training, and airtime on our radio and television channels. Members can promote their work through our platforms, connect and collaborate with other local creators, take part in special media production opportunities, and vote in organizational decisions. Every membership also helps keep independent local media on the air in Petaluma.
We offer five membership levels, each renewed annually:
Supporting ($75, or $50 for seniors and students): Voting privileges, our monthly newsletter, and content submission.
Producer ($100, or $75 for seniors and students): Supporting benefits plus use of our media resources and basic equipment training.
Household ($125): Producer benefits for up to three members of the same household.
Non-Profit ($150): Producer benefits for up to three designated members of a nonprofit organization.
Business ($200): Producer benefits for up to three designated members of a local business.
Membership is available to all Sonoma County Residents (as well as for Marin County Residents who wish to produce radio). To join, fill out the form below or visit our offices to sign up in person. Once you register, we will email you the membership handbook along with orientation information and links to our services. After reviewing that email, sign up for an orientation at the media center of your choice. During orientation you will learn about the production process, receive a technical overview, and schedule time to begin practicing, or producing if you are already proficient.
You are welcome to stop by our offices with questions or for a tour at any time. Visit our Contact Us page for details.
