During the 2005-2006 school year, the school developed their own T.V. show called NPZ TV. The show was founded by English teacher Bill Zimmer and Computer Teacher Jen Cone. NPZ TV continues to deliver the school's daily announcements with two anchors and a Lunch/Weather/Wellness person, the broadcast also includes short shows about school sports,local and national news and student interests that are created by the Advanced Graphics and Video Editing for Production Class taught by Cone. Students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, arrive at the school early to assist with the show, both as the anchors and to work with the technology in the 'Controlroom' to insert V-Screen backgrounds and videos directly into the teleprompter. In the start of the 3rd season, new English teacher Joel Neden began to fill in for Zimmer due to his expected departure to become a principal in a different school district. Zimmer's replacement, an old NPHS veteran Joe Dolan now writes the daily script with Neden.
The high school also has its own internet radio station called Radio New Paltz, it is more commonly referred to as 'RNP'. RNP is capable of broadcasting student produced shows and audio from sports commentary.
