Public access television is more than just viewing, It allows all of us in the community to get the word out about news and events on the local level. It allows everyone in the community the opportunity to participate—suggesting programming, borrowing equipment, and learning to create shows themselves.
Watching TV is changing. People are streaming and watching on demand more and more. People are dropping their cable subscriptions. This has had a negative effect on public access TV which is part of the cable TV system. In 2018, the cable companies slammed the local, public access channels down from channel 2 to channel 1301. This means people do not happen upon the programming as they click through the top channels. People have to intentionally watch local television.
We want to keep this grassroots means of local expression vibrant and flourishing. We encourage community support to help us maintain our quirky, cool and homespun programming happening.
