Cablecasting Improvement Section
The City of Golden Valley partners with Northwest Community Television (NWCT) to bring you a wide
variety of city video programming featuring information about your local government as well as
activities and events in the community. This capital project fund plans for major improvements to
provide access for city meetings. In 2022, the equipment was replaced in the council chambers.
History
NWCT started in 1982 and is funded by a joint powers agreement that supports public access and
local programming activities through local Franchise and Community Television fees. Nine adjacent
cities are part of the franchise agreement between Comcast and the Northwest Suburbs Cable
Communications Commission (NWSCCC). They include Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal,
Golden Valley, Maple Grove, New Hope Osseo, Plymouth, and Robbinsdale.
Cable Franchise fees are the main source of revenue.
