Non-Resident - Non-Profit Organizations:  Persons who are authorized representatives of a non-profit institution or organization may use TCtv for the purpose of cable casting announcements or programming.  In all cases where non-resident representatives request use of TCtv, a "Statement of Compliance", and a "Non-Resident Authorization" form signed by the identified member of the institution or organization must be provided.  Each Non-Profit organization must provide proof of Non-Profit status, along with the identification of the individual representing the organization.  Verification of all information will be conducted by TCtv.  In all cases, Torrance based non-profit organizations will receive priority over non-Torrance based non-profit organizations.
