List Of Public-access TV Stations In The United States

In the United States, every community that is served by one or more cable TV companies has the right to collect a cable television franchise fee, based on the Cable Communications Act of 1984 Section 622, from those cable companies to fund a Public-access television cable TV channel. In addition, the cable television companies must make Public, educational, and government access (PEGA) channels available for the Public-access organization to distribute the locally originated nonprofit organization's programming produced by or made available to the organization.

This list was initiated based on a list of public-access stations collected by Alliance for Community Media (ACM), with some defunct organizations removed. The distribution of organizations here does not always correlate to population; for example, although California has the most stations listed, Michigan and Minnesota each have more stations than New York.

    Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath
