Community and public access media organization serving Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA.
Overview
Cape Media Center is a nonprofit community media organization headquartered
in Dennis Port, within the town of Dennis, Massachusetts.
It serves five Cape Cod towns — Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, and Chatham — through public-access television and community media services.
Its mission is to strengthen local community connections, support democratic communication, and empower residents to express themselves by providing access to studio space, equipment, training, and production resources.
Local residents can join as members, learn video and audio production skills, and create noncommercial programming that airs both on local cable channels and online platforms.
Cape Media Channel 26 is the organization’s primary public-access television channel on Comcast.
It features member-produced programs, coverage of community events, local stories, and informational content relevant to the five member towns.
CapeSpan Channel 9 is a regional informational cable channel with a broader Cape Cod focus.
Its programming includes county government meetings, public affairs content, community updates, and topics of regional interest covering all 15 towns of Barnstable County.
Together, these two channels function as platforms for free expression, civic engagement, and the sharing of local voices across Cape Cod.
Live streams and on-demand videos for both channels are available on the Cape Media Center’s official website and digital platforms.
Community Media Role
While town-run channels such as Dennis TV focus primarily on official meetings and municipal communication, Cape Media Center emphasizes resident participation and media access.
Through open membership, shared production facilities, and hands-on training, it enables individuals and community groups to create original, noncommercial programming rather than simply consume local information.
This role positions Cape Media Center as a complementary community media hub, expanding opportunities for creative expression, learning, and civic engagement alongside traditional municipal broadcasting.
