SUPPORTING CIVIC PARTICIPATION

MCM-TV connects the citizens of McMinnville with their city government by telecasting every meeting of the McMinnville City Council and its Work Sessions live on local cable TV channels. These meetings are vital for the public to know about the decisions and actions that affect their community. MCM-TV also schedules several replays of each Council meeting on different cable channels in the days after the live telecast.

McMinnville Community Media has been providing this service since July 2015, and has recorded and archived over 250 meetings of the McMinnville City Council. These archived meetings are available online at mcm11.org/meetings, where anyone can access them anytime and anywhere. This online archive is a valuable resource for citizens who want to learn more about the history and context of the city’s policies and projects.

MCM-TV’s live and replayed coverage of the Council meetings on cable channels is an essential way of ensuring that citizens have access to their local government, especially for those who cannot attend the meetings in person. MCM-TV aims to inform, educate and engage the public with their city’s affairs through its high-quality and professional telecasts.
