 The Community Access Channel is responsible for providing local community members and organizations with the opportunity to provide or produce local programming. This is meant to enhance a sense of community and promote a diversity of viewpoints as an alternative to commercial television.

This free opportunity is a public affairs forum, which permits the expansion of information on a variety of topics not normally available to local audiences. CTV-21 encourages the use of their free production facilities for the creation of local programming.
