What is Public Access Television? The place where residents, and people who work in town, bring in tapes and air them on Madison's TV Channels (18, 19, & 20).

How does it work? Come in and learn how to use a camera, and sign one out for a show you'd like to produce. Or if you already have a tape, sign it up for airplay.

We can also schedule training in editing tapes for airing.

MISSION STATEMENT: MCAG facilitates the program production by Madison independent organizations and residents who use MCAG's equipment and studio facilities for the education, entertainment and conveying of information and opinions for the residents of Madison, Connecticut.

HISTORY: The Madison Cable Access Group was formed in 1982 as a non-profit, tax exempt organization composed of volunteers who are adult residents of Madison. Incorporated under the statutes of the State of Connecticut and in cooperation with COMCAST to provide the means and stimulus for residents to have direct access to the television medium on local cable channels 18, 19 and 20 for non-commercial programs. The facilities and studio is currently located in the Arts Barn on the Town Campus.

Funding for MCAG is primarily from Comcast that serves the seven Connecticut towns of Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Madison, North Branford, North Haven and Wallingford, with additional support from the town of Madison.
