In March, we’re celebrating 14 years of service for Tara and what an asset she is to BTC and our community. Tara represents what excellent customer service truly looks like. Whether it’s taking extra time to explain something clearly, following up to make sure an issue is resolved, or simply offering a warm and welcoming presence when members walk through the door, Tara makes our members feel valued. She genuinely loves the community we serve, and that shows in the way she cares for people every single day. Her kindness and willingness help create the kind of experience that reflects who we are as a cooperative. Tara, thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our members.
We are so grateful for you. Congratulations on 14 years!

Ballard IPTV Customers - It’s that time of year again where we will see signal disruption due to Sun outages. Please be aware that during these times we will experience degraded and complete signal loss for our services as the Sun moves through our satellite reception arc. Each dish is affected differently throughout the day so the times listed below are an approximation of when we will see reception issues. Lastly, the below dates are based on peak signal loss and we may see intermittent signal issues leading up to these dates and for several days after.



Sun Outage Prediction – Spring 2026

End Time CST - 135W
