Community Television

ALCo TV is a Michigan City based community television station created by Access LaPorte County to fill the media vacuum that exists in Michigan City as well as the loss of a valuable communication tool that disappeared when the Michigan City Public Library ceased operation of Public Access Channel 99, December 31, 2002. Further, ALCo TV will serve to forward our mission to fortify the area's economic, political, cultural, and social well being by making public and community information available through the Internet and other forms of media.

Production facilities are already in place, the offices up and running, operating revenue secured, and experienced staff hired. We're just reading the instruction books and recording our greeting on the answering machine...well, not quite. We're actually still installing some equipment, making decisions about staffing, and continuing to build bridges with other organizations.

We currently air our productions on public access TV in Michigan City and LaPorte but are quickly working towards broadcasting on our own channel throughout LaPorte County. Concurrently we are offering our programs via Windows Media in this Web site. CLICK HERE

We obviously have more to share and we'll do so in the coming months. Check back here often and don't forget to check your local cable listings for programming. Our new studios are located in the old public access office at 301 East 8th Street, Suite #101 in Michigan City. We welcome all who would like to visit us and would be grateful to anyone wishing to help out with last minute preparations.
