Most nonprofit organizations don't have the time, staff or funds for elaborate television production. Chicago nonprofit groups are successfully using CAN TV for client or volunteer recruitment, advocacy, public education, community organization and community service. More than 2,500 organizations have used CAN TV's nonprofit services to-date. Chicago Access Network Television pioneered this production format for nonprofit groups that want a direct and simple way to reach cable viewers.
Groups are able to respond immediately to viewer questions and refer people to needed services.
TV21 Chicago Learns TV21 is a simple, effective way for students, parents, teachers and other community residents to access information from Chicago education groups. The bulletin board service features announcements about educational opportunities, activities and events throughout the city. Chicago Learns TV21 begins every day at Midnight and runs until 4 p.m. weekdays, and until 9 a.m. weekends. Stories on TV27 combine text with artwork and computer technology, creating a televised brochure or slide show that tells a nonprofit's story. Viewers complimented us on the quality of the message, its visual appeal, and its informational value.
