About this hub
New Bedford Cable Access is the community media organization serving New Bedford, Massachusetts, a historic port city in Bristol County on Buzzards Bay that was once the world's greatest whaling port and is now home to the most productive fishing fleet in the United States, providing PEG access television for this diverse and historically significant community.
The organization provides public access cable television for New Bedford residents, covering city council and government meetings and offering community members training and production resources to create and broadcast locally focused programming in English and Portuguese that reflects the city's large Cape Verdean, Portuguese, and Latino communities.
New Bedford residents - in a city of profound maritime heritage, significant immigrant history, and ongoing economic transformation - rely on cable access for the government coverage and multilingual community programming that connects one of the most culturally complex cities in New England to its own civic life and gives voice to communities whose stories are rarely told in mainstream regional media.
