WHAT?

 
 


NLTV is a local access P.E.G. Station = Public, Education, & Government.

What does that mean?

The programming on North Liberty Television is produced by NLTV staff, members of the public, and other community non-profit or government organizations. The mission of our PEG channel is to provide a medium for public, educational, and government programming.

NLTV staff produce programs that capture and convey information and events that take place in or are directly related to the City. This ranges from simple coverage of local business openings and City-sponsored events to complex "project videos" exploring the history of the area or detailing City procedures and services in order to raise public awareness.

NLTV also produces various video programs for local non-profit organizations, such as Heritage Christian School and the North Liberty Family Resource Center. In addition, staff create shows in cooperation with local businesses or residents, the end product being a public-service or educational program.

As a member of the public, you can produce shows as well. We accept programs locally-produced as well as from afar, as long as it is non-commercial in nature. It is important that everyone has access to this media outlet!

NLTV also shows programming produced by other local access stations, such as Coralville or Iowa City.

Most of the shows on NLTV pertain to local matters and events.

The channel is cablecast 24 hours per day from the Community Programming Office in our very own North Liberty Community Center at 520 W. Cherry Street. We also show LIVE public meetings from the council chambers, across from City Hall. These include City Council, Planning & Zoning, and Telecommunications Commission meetings.

NLTV is seen on cable channel 5 in North Liberty. Unfortunately, NLTV is not available to satellite-TV subscribers (DirecTV, Dish Network, etc.) However, Mediacom and South Slope cable customers both see NLTV on channel 5.
