Update!
On January 14, 2008, Federal Court Judge
Victoria Roberts ordered a temporary injunction to
halt Comcast’s plan to move all Public, Education and
Government (PEG) channels to the 900 tier of the
digital lineup. This means that for the time being,
you can still see BCTV on Channel 15, and if you are a
basic tier subscriber (analog) you do not need any
extra equipment to view the channel.
BCTV will keep the Bloomfield
Township website updated
regarding this issue. |

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, it provides
Municipal Access programming on channel 15 for Birmingham,
Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms and Franklin, and Public Access
programming on channel 18 for those same four communities.
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 and surrounding
communities.
BCTV produces approximately 500 programs a year. Many of
the programs are in a series format and produced in the studio
by local residents, while others document events taking place
in and around the community.
BCTV has a highly qualified production staff and a
state-of-the-art studio. Its facilities are available for
tours and workshops. Volunteer workshops are held regularly to
give people the expertise needed to participate in community
television. Residents are welcome to bring their program ideas
to BCTV and become involved in their production.
The Community Bulletin Board, aired periodically throughout
the day and overnight, posts community events and local
updates.
