Mapping Community Television #3: Non-profit Organizations & Government Agencies

This is the third installment in a three-part series mapping US community access television providers. Part 1 looked at the largest US cities (the 276 that are over 100,000 in population), mapping the widespread use (93%) of access channels for government meeting coverage. Part 2 focused on those communities, regardless of population size, where educational institutions are managing access channels, mapping 209 higher education institutions and 286 primary and secondary institutions. Here the focus is on the two remaining major types of public sector access providers -- nonprofit organizations and government agencies. The data in all these posts come from a collaboratively edited Google Doc spreadsheet list of access television providers - 2,000 strong and growing - which has been compiled since October: U.S. Community Access Television Providers, By State and Service Area.
