About
Public-access television is non-commercial mass media where a member of the general public can create television programming which is broadcast through cable TV and fiberoptic channels. In Cincinnati, those channels are on the Spectrum and Fioptics offering of television networks.
Public-access television was created in the United States between 1969 and 1971 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) based on the trailblazing work and advocacy of NYU Professor George Stoney, Red Burns (Alternate Media Center), and Sidney Dean (City Club of NY).
Today, public-access television exists in municipalities all across America. Cincinnati Community Television (CCT) is the public-access network that serves the residents of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Your Voice, Your Show, Your Television.
Our Mission
CCT’s mission is to provide a platform, resources and training opportunities for Cincinnati residents to realize their freedom of speech on local television. CCT fosters civic participation and collaboration to ensure an inclusive environment that reflects the diversity of cultural voices within our city.
Our Vision
CCT holds that our community is bettered when ordinary people possess the power of mass media. Cincinnati residents and non-profit organizations, especially those under-represented in the media, should have fair and equitable opportunities, free of censorship or editorial control, to create television content with an independent voice on a first-come-first-served basis.
