The mission of The Madison City Channel is to make
local government more accessible to the citizens of Madison. By providing a direct link
between local government and the cable network, The Madison City Channel will promote
citizen access and exposure to local government and further government accountability. The
Madison City Channel will also provide City government with access to the cable network
for training, data transmission, and other valuable exchanges of public information.
In order to meet this mission, The Madison City
Channel's activities will include the following prioritized programming and services:
1. Local governmental legislative meetings (e.g.
Madison Common Council, Dane County Board of Supervisors).
2. Local governmental boards, committees, commissions, etc. (e.g. Board of Estimates,
Citizen's Advisory Commission on People with Disabilities).
3. Programs on current events or particular community issues (e.g. Mayor's Report, Know
Your Candidates, Focus on Equality).
4. Programs regarding local government services (e.g. Protective Behaviors for Children,
Career Opportunities with the City of Madison, 911).
5. Non-cablecast video productions which further the missions of City departments and
other organizations (e.g. Proper Glass Handling Techniques).
6. Character generated information regarding meeting schedules of local governmental
boards, committees, commissions, etc.

governmental or non-profit groups.
