Goodbye MappingAccess

A Community Directory of Cable Access Television

MappingAccess has closed after 5+ years of providing a unique way to present the ubiquity and power of Public Access Television and enabling a better understanding of the current state of community media, existing threats and future possibilities.

Thank you to the 500+ users who contributed their knowledge to the database.

To continue contributing and discovering data about cable access television, please visit the Community Media Database. You can also find downloadable datasets below (both are offered under a CC BY-NC-SA license):

• MappingAccess's database of nearly 350 stations, as contributed by station staff and community members (07 Dec 2011): xls
• Community Media Database's database, copied for preservation (07 Dec 2011): xls

I am glad that MappingAccess has played an important role over the last several years in improving access to data about cable access television and advancing dialogue about how diverse technology tools can benefit the community media movement.

Sincerely,

Ben Sheldon
