Typically you find that a public access television program schedule is pretty cut and dried, with a short list of boring options to watch at mostly inconvenient times. But GVTV has proven to be the exception with their widely diverse listings and entertaining programs laid out with the viewer's convenience in mind. With the modern capability to stream programs on the home computer, the watchability vastly increases. Coverage of local, national, and world news is complete and up to the minute whenever possible and can be found on cable TV as well as satellite. The idea of public access television began around 1970 when the need was expressed for a means of mass media distribution for ordinary people who would also create their own programming. Most of the funding is gained through private grants, contributions, and some federal government funding which means they often operate on a shoestring budget and always appreciate donations of time and money from the local area and nationwide as well.

You have grown unbearably weary of unreal housewives in all geographies; you are frustrated because great new series run on USA for only eight weeks before they disappear with only vague promises they will return. You have watched every crime drama rerun on TNT twice. And you have abandoned all hope of keeping up with any single Kardashian let alone all of them. You really weren't all that interested in Bruce Jenner anyway. So, instead of watching television ripped from the headlines, why don't you watch television that actually makes headlines? Why not run your fingers over the vital organs in the body politic? Spend a few hours with Michigan's House of Representatives and State Senate, tuning in to House Television, more properly Michigan Government Television, or MGTV for short. Why Michigan? you naturally wonder. In fact, you have two serious reasons for dialling in to MGTV: First, it was one of the first state-owned and operated public-service channels in the nation and still is one of the most inclusive. Second, if you missed Eminem's and Chrysler's messages, MGTV will show you exactly how the beleaguered home of the auto industry aggressively is mounting a comeback. MGTV televises House and Senate committees, and it shows meetings of executive branch commissions, where the gears of government really grind. MGTV also broadcasts meetings of the state's Board of Education, and it often airs programs from its prestigious universities no stuff for lightweights. Best, MGTV is one of the few channels that airs oral arguments before the state's Supreme Court, so that you can see some of the nation's finest legal minds and some of its most prominent litigators doing their best work.
