Community Media Network is one of the largest and most prestigious public access organizations in Michigan. Since its inception in 1983, CMN has supported Public Access and residents, organizations, schools and agencies of the consortium, with free or low-cost access to television production, training and cablecast on a non-discriminatory basis. We currently serve 11 cities in southeastern Oakland County with a subscriber base of nearly 140,000 people (see below for the list of communities we serve).
Community Media Network resources allow the public to produce public access television shows that reflect the diverse community in Oakland County and Michigan.
There are numerous ways to benefit from CMN services:
• LEARN A NEW SKILL - through CMN's Production Certification Series.
• PROMOTE YOUR NON-PROFIT - with CMN programs and "Media Board" announcements.
• ENRICH YOUR COMMUNITY - by playing your own TV programs on CMN.
For more information about CMN membership see our Training page.
Whether your interests are technical or talent, camera operating or editing, all participants at CMN achieve a high level of personal satisfaction. Producing good television programs is hard work, but once you start, you're usually hooked. Come visit our studios - we're confident you will be impressed. |

Community Media Network is our DBA (“doing business as”), but our incorporated name is Oakland County Cable Communications Corporation. Yes, that IS quite a few syllables, which is why we were more commonly known as “OC-4” from 1983 to 1999. If that sounds like we have an identity crisis, you should trace back the names of the cable franchises on which our channel is played! |

Most would likely describe us as more “culture” than “corporate,” but that’s up to you to decide. Since we serve such a wide range of individuals and groups with varied interests, we can’t help but reflect just a bit of that variety ourselves. Call us techno-realists one day, artsy-retro-surrealists the next. Whatever the day, you can be sure that the staff you find at CMN is genuinely interested in your public access needs, and will go to the customary extraordinary lengths to help you meet them. |
