What is PTV GOV?
PTV GOV, local Comcast channel 18, is the dedicated Government channel of public access station PTV.
 
Is PTV GOV a Town Department?
No. PTV GOV is a division of PTV, a 501(c)(3) non-profit contracted by the Town of Provincetown to provide both government coverage on Comcast channel 18 and public access to media equipment, broadcasting, and education on Comcast channel 99.  PTV is funded in part by subsidies from local Comcast television subscriptions and from local donations and sponsorships.

How can I learn more about Government and Public Access?
Check out the Public Access Wikipedia page. Wikipedia is sort of the Public Access of encyclopedias so it makes sense to start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-access_television


For our legal eagles out there, here's what the FCC has to say about Access: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/public-educational-and-governmental-access-channels-peg-channels
