About Us

In the fall of 1993, interested citizens incorporated Lake Champlain Access Television to serve as the organization charged with the operation and administration of Public/Educational/Governmental (PEG) Access Television on the Lake Champlain Cable System. LCATV Channel 2 began broadcasting from a small studio in Colchester High School on February 18, 1994. In November, 1996, LCATV moved to its current home on 354 Prim Road in Colchester and in November, 2000, Channel 2 became Channel 15 as the result of a cable system upgrade. Early 2001 saw LCATV's expansion into two separate cable channels: Channel 15 for public access, and Channel 16 for government and education access.

Today, LCATV serves about 6,500 Comcast Cable subscribers in Colchester, Milton and Georgia with television programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on both of its channels. The LCATV staff generates a wide variety of local interest programming, including gavel to gavel coverage of select board and school board meetings, weekly live call-in shows featuring town officials, legislators and community members, election coverage, educational shows and special events.

LCATV is administrated by a volunteer Board of Directors and daily operations are overseen by the LCATV Staff. Aiding them are the community volunteers who donate their time and effort. The corporation's membership consists of anyone who lives, works or attends school in Colchester, Milton and Georgia and LCATV is funded with cable television subscriber fees.
