WHAT WE DO
Public, Education, & Government (PEG) Programming.
NewTV operates 3 cable television channels - Public/Community, Education, and Government - across 4 cable networks. Newton residents with cable subscriptions can access our programming on Comcast, RCN, Verizon, and Astound IPTV.
Programming that airs on our Education and Government channels is also available on our YouTube Channels. Our Community channel content is owned by the members who produce it, and is therefore available online at their discretion. Member-produced programs that are available online are linked through our Community Channel webpage.
Each of our channels provides an accessible platform for the diverse voices of Newton, strives to promote transparency in our municipal government, and takes pride in fact-based, unbiased journalism.
