MIT Student Cable Group

The purpose of MIT Student Cable is to first and foremost provide quality programming for the MIT community. In doing this, members learn and teach the skills involved with television production, including camera work, directing, writing, acting, and even repairs. These skills combined with members' creativity are what makes MITV (MIT's only student-run cable channel) possible.

MIT Student Cable's driving force is to:

provide quality programming for the MIT community with an emphasis on student-created content
teach, learn, and share information about the technical aspects and the art of television production

Unlike other college television stations, which are controlled and staffed by communications schools, the station is run entirely by students.

MITV reaches more people than any other student-run media outlet at MIT. Through MIT's Cable Television system's 4,000+ cable outlets, MIT Student Cable broadcasts to all campus buildings, living groups, and select off-campus FSILGs. MITV operates on channel 36 on MIT Cable's channel lineup.
