Denver’s Only Public Access Station: Introduces Public Voting

For the first time in Denver’s history, public access television watchers will be able to vote and comment on their favorite shows. Denver Open Media (DOM), operators of Denver’s three public access television stations (Comcast 56, 57, and 219), are thrilled to introduce a revolutionary new feature called Short Message Service (SMS) that will change the way audience members watch television.

Deproduction Partners with CFF to Bring Media Technology to Nonprofits

Deproduction Awarded $380,000 to Bring Public Access TV to New Level in Colorado

Public Access & CTC Grants

In 2008, Deproduction was the recipient of a Knight News Challenge award aimed at a long-term goal of helping Public Access TV stations and Community Technology Centers better cooperate as a nation-wide user-driven network. At the core of this grant is the collection and implementation of a set of open-source tools developed by DOM and others aimed at expanding the role of the community and streamlining much of the workload of a Public Access station or CTC.
