Rochester Community TV, Inc.

RCTV plays a critical role in democratizing media access in Rochester, NY. Since our founding in 1993, our mission has been to empower a diverse community of individuals with access to media tools, technology, and training — no matter that person's age, gender, sexuality, religion, or heritage. Our members speak for, and to the underserved within our community who often fall beneath traditional media’s radar. It is a lofty mission, and one of which Rochester's beloved Frederick Douglass would, no doubt, have approved." ​

We give ACCESS: to provide a platform for the free expression of ideas, along with the technology and expertise to share them. EDUCATION: to provide high-quality educational programming, with a special focus on health, youth, and local history. EQUITY: to uplift and empower members of our community who have been historically-underserved by traditional media. ​
