In order for democracy to flourish, citizens must be active participants in their government and their community. They must also be encouraged to think critically and must be free to express themselves. Community Television of Knoxville (CTV) promotes these democratic ideals by providing access to the necessary equipment and training to provide effective communication through the use of cable television.
Since 1975, CTV has been providing media production facilities to the residents of Knoxville & Knox County for non-commercial use. Accessible to more than 100,000 cable TV subscribers throughout Knoxville & Knox County (and millions more throughout the world via the Internet), the channel serves a wide constituency, including community residents, local government agencies, nonprofit organizations and other community groups.
Providing Public, Educational and Government (PEG) programming not available anywhere else, program topics on CTV address a wide variety of issues related to local and global concerns, including the arts, living with disabilities, environmental issues, local government, historic preservation, physical & mental health, lifestyles, municipal & political affairs, religious & spiritual issues, sports, travel, recreation and more.
