Montgomery Community Television dba Montgomery Community Media

Since our 1984 founding as the county’s community media center and region's largest public access station, our aim remains to "inform, connect and educate" the 1+ million residents of Montgomery County.

Our mission is to encourage and sponsor “first-voice “multimedia content that meets community needs, engages our communities, and offers forums for free expression on both broadcast and broadband platforms.

Our vision is to educate and empower county residents by providing a means to creatively engage and more effectively connect them through our multimedia platforms.

We serve the community through content distribution, educational training, economic development, nonprofit partnerships and collaborations, and production services.

Towards the fulfillment of those goals by innovative and informative means, we foster and sustain programming and offerings that both reflect and promote the culturally and socioeconomically inclusive communities that comprise the mosaic that is us.

Our multimedia content is community-centric and overwhelmingly volunteer produced. We broadcast to nearly 873,000 viewers in over 351,000 cable TV households. Our broadband platform, mymcmedia.org, annually serves over 860,000 web visitors. 

Our nearly 700 active volunteers annually complete 600+ projects, engage the humanities through weekly blogs and daily tweets, and provide over 14,000 hours of on-air content. Our volunteers and presenters contribute 120 program series each quarter in nearly a dozen languages, including: "Backpack Beat," "Musica Y Algo Mas," "Selam Ethiopia," "Traveltelevision,” “Igreja Batista Brasileira,” “Revista Semanal Montgomery,” and the "Punjabi Community Hour."

Our volunteer bloggers include interests in psychology, the culinary arts interior design, public policy, creative writing, etc. Our community-based multimedia participators engage us through Facebook.com/myMCMedia, @myMCMedia on Twitter and Linkedin.com/myMCMedia, YouTube.com/myMCMedia, YouReport.com, Pintrest.com, Instagram.com, Eventbrite.com, eVite.com and Constant Contact.
