The Community Media Center is a 501-c3 nonprofit public, education, & government (PEG) media organization that provides a shared broadcast-production facility serving Carroll County Maryland. The Community Media Center operates two local cable access channels: Channel 19-the Public Access Channel, and Channel 23- the Municipal Channel.

This state of the art facility is a result of local governments dedicating 2% of their franchise fees to support public access to local, government and educational content. Individuals and organizations can also use facility resources to produce and distribute their own content to the broader community. The facility and the non-profit organization represent a partnership of PEG channels, the Carroll County Career and Technology Center and local non-profit organizations serving local needs. The CMC facility houses a 2,000 square foot production studio, County and Municipal robotic equipment to cover remote meetings, mobile field production and editing equipment. It is linked via fiber optic cable to Carroll’s eight municipalities, the County, the Board of Education, and the Community College.

The CMC helps citizens and organizations document, inform, educate, and celebrate the life of their local community. Our goal is to create and distribute content that bolsters community involvement, educates and informs the citizens of Carroll County. The CMC provides organizations and institutions the means to engage the public. It also provides affordable, easy access to equipment and expertise that gives the average citizen a voice and a presence on local cable channels and the Internet.
