CCTV Celebrates 35 Years of Free Speech - RSVP Today!

May 07, 2019

 

In 1984, media activists from across Chittenden County launched the region's first funded public access television channels. Since then, CCTV has helped to change the face of local media and build a stronger and more engaged community in Vermont. Thirty-five years -- and 35,000 programs later -- CCTV continues to fight to expand public access, open the doors of local government, and promote participatory culture.

This spring marks the organization's 35th anniversary and the public is invited to join the celebration:
