Meet the Staff
Nathan Glenny
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
For Nathan, it all began here in North Central Massachusetts, specifically at Fitchburg Access Television, with the passion he developed for creative communications.
Attending B.F. Brown Junior-High School in Fitchburg, Nate would volunteer at FATV as a technician during productions of live broadcasts. While utilizing FATV equipment, he was the editor for the senior class video at Fitchburg High School, his Alma Mater. These production experiences were the foundation that helped form the television career Nate continues to enjoy today. Over the past 15 years as a sports camera operator, he’s been a part of broadcasts for the Stanley Cup Finals, Thursday Night Football, Celtics Basketball, Harvard-Yale Football, and the Boston Marathon, to mention a few. He has also been involved with promotional videos, including work for the Molly Bish Foundation, and for various products in the retail industry through social media platforms.
In his spare time, Nate enjoys cooking a delicious meal, making new memories with family and friends, and exploring the outdoors while taking in views that the world has to offer (with a camera in hand!).

His introduction to FATV came in 2005 as a student in Mark Rocheleau's video production class at Sizer Charter School. When the class ended, Travis stayed involved at FATV by volunteering on numerous productions including football, hockey, parades, and various studio shows. In 2009 he was hired as Media Archivist, transferring VHS tapes to DVD and entering the information into the archive database. From there, Travis was promoted to Production Technician, and now serves as FATV’s Operations Manager, where he continues to keep FATV’s technical facilities in tip-top shape.
DANIEL BEAULAC

Since 2015, he has been a regular on FATV’s sports coverage, a role he continues with since joining the FATV staff, along with video editing, website coordination, and directing many of the government meetings in the City of Fitchburg.
In addition to his contributions to FATV, Daniel has over 15 years of experience announcing local sporting events, having called over 600 games in ten different sports. During his time as a student at Fitchburg State University, he contributed on-air and behind the scenes at the Falcon Sports Network, earning the Contributor Award from the Athletic Department in 2016. Thanks to a recommendation from FATV Executive Director Scott May, Daniel began working with WPKZ in Fitchburg in January 2016, where he contributes as a board operator and co-host multiple times a week, while also getting the opportunity to call games all over the region and state. His most notable broadcasts include six State Championship ice hockey games from the TD Garden, multiple State Championship tackle and flag football games from Gillette Stadium, a Thanksgiving football game from Fenway Park, and broadcasting the Fitchburg State Falcons winning the MASCAC Ice Hockey Championship in 2018 and 2025 (those last two were broadcast right here on FATV!)
