Where Do I Begin?


      Step 1 - Introduction to CPA-TV
      This introductory class will give you a better idea of what services we offer at CPA-TV.
      Our staff will work with a small group of prospective producers during each session, and
      will teach the "studio basics" and studio policies and procedures.  These introductory
      classes will be offered on a regular basis throughout the year.  Please contact CPA-TV
      General Manager Cal Tate at (434) 995-5905 to sign up for a class and to discuss your
      ideas.

      Step 2 - CPA-TV Membership
      Once you become a member of CPA-TV, you will gain access to our state-of-the-art
      facilities, located at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center.  Your
      membership includes other perks, and helps with continued maintenance of CPA-TV,
      a non-profit organization.  While membership is not necessary to produce programming
      for our station, it is required in order to use our equipment and facilities.

      Step 3 - Produce Your Show!
      Once you have discussed all available options with the CPA-TV General Manager, you are
      now free to create original, non-commercial television programming at CPA-TV.  If you
      need help getting started with your TV show, ask us about our Full Service capabilities!

      Step 4 - Share Your Show!
      Broadcast your program on one of our 3 cable channels. We can be found on Comcast
      Cable in Charlottesville and most surrounding counties, reaching over 40,000 households
      in Central Virginia, including many near the campus of the University of Virginia.  We will
      also soon be streaming Channel 13 24/7 on this website -- to the world!
