Spotlight on Freemasonry is produced by many Rhode Island Master Masons who volunteer their time to write and produce these programs and to make up the studio production crew. Our plan is to release two new shows per month.

The programs are produced in the studios of PEG-TV in Cranston, Rhode Island. These modern television facilities are provided at no cost to us. Our programs are seen on Verizon Cable, channel 32; and channel 13 on the Cox and Full Channel cable systems, every Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM.

We have a wide variety of programs in various stages of production. The Rainbow Girls in Rhode Island are presently writing a show about their organization. Several lodges are preparing lodge history programs.

There are many Masons to thank for their efforts. We especially thank Worshipful Dave Richards for providing the Internet connection for our programs through his media server located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Thanks must also be given to the staff at PEG-TV for their never ending help.

This series of programs was created by Brother Raymond Brisson.
