DCTV (Public Access Corporation of the District of Columbia)

Public Access Corporation of DC (DCTV) is a membership-based, non-profit, public access television network. Since 1988, DCTV has provided residents of the District of Columbia the opportunity to create and telecast their own shows on cable television. This is accomplished by:

• Providing opportunities for community residents and organizations to create noncommercial television programs and telecast them on cable channels on a fair and equitable basis, free of censorship or editorial control.
• Engaging the entire community in a dialogue that is broadly representative of its varied perspectives and cultures.
• Ensuring the presence of diverse cultural groups and ideas traditionally unheard or under-represented in the media.
