CGTV is not a public access channel and does not run programming or announcements provided by the general public.
CGTV is Available With Closed Captions
Starting in January 2022, all new City-produced programming is available with closed captions. Closed captioning is the process of displaying the audio portion of a video program on screen, which can improve the accessibility and comprehension of the programming content. All City-produced content, including live meetings and video recordings, are now telecast and streamed online with closed captions available to anyone who chooses to use them. Viewers can turn closed captions on using the features in their TVs or set top boxes, or by selecting the “CC” icon in CGTV’s online web player.
Closed captions are created automatically by utilizing artificial intelligence software similar to that used in phones and other smart products. It is important that viewers realize the software isn’t perfect and that some captioning mistakes are to be expected. Videos recorded prior to 2022 are not captioned.
