Cable

Bloomfield Township, through Bloomfield Community Television, provides Community Access programming on Comcast cable channel 15 for residents of Bloomfield Township and Bloomfield Hills. Under a contractual agreement with the Birmingham Area Cable Board (BACB), it provides Municipal Access and Government Access programming for Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms and Franklin.  The BACB's channels are shown on Comcast: 18 and 15, respectively; WOW: 18 and 10; and on AT&T's Uverse, channel 99.

Since its establishment in 1984, Bloomfield Community Television (BCTV) has grown to become one of the premier community television stations in the nation. Its programs focus on the people, places and events that enrich the lives of the residents of Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills and neighboring Birmingham area communities.

BCTV now produces more than 600 programs a year. Many of the programs are in a series format and produced in the studio by local residents. The others are produced by local non-profit organizations and document events taking place in and around the community.

Most years BCTV staff sends out a letter to producers, volunteers and friends of the station conveying holiday greetings and providing a brief update on the year’s accomplishments and activities. Click below to read the letters.

AT&T, following a different set of requirements set forth by Michigan's Public Act 480 in 2006, is allowed to select certain areas of the Township as its service areas.
