Government Access TV Channel 21 (GATV)

TV21 Auburn is a public service designed to provide Auburn Citizens with timely information about the operation and affairs of the City government and to offer them an opportunity to use this information to be more involved in Auburn's decision making process.

TV21 Auburn is available to residents who live within the Auburn City Limits and subscribe to Comcast Cable Services. If you meet these requirements, you can find it on channel 21 of your TV lineup.

Our Program Schedule is shown frequently on Channel 21.

In addition to our videotaped programs, we run many specialty programs and many of our programs can be viewed on our website in our Multimedia Library.

Digitial TV Transition

At midnight on June 12, 2009* (extended from February 17, 2009), all full-power television stations in the United States stopped broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises to provide a clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders.

Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after June 12, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes.

A TV connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program.

Learn more about the digital TV transition and receive a coupon for a converter box here.

*Some stations will make the switch prior to June 12 due to unique technical issues. Please visit your local television station's Web site or contact them for details specific to your area.
