Welcome to Community Media of Staten Island
If you’ve ever dreamed of working in Television or having your own show, Community Access is THE place to get started. While the staff at CMSI are professionals who can teach and help you create your own content, volunteer producers are the backbone of our programming.
Community Access Television offers Staten Island residents a voice and a platform to showcase their ideas, talents, opinions and creativity. CMSI is your voice.
If you’ve had an idea for a show or want to get behind the camera and experience life in a studio, you’ve come to the right place.
An informative series of tutorials on creating your own content is right here on the web site and if you’d like to pursue this further, we encourage you to register for a training at our facility.
We look forward to seeing you – and creating with you – soon!
Watch us now - on Spectrum, see us on channels 34, 79, 1996 and 1997; on Verizon, see us on channels 34, 35, 36, and 37. You can also watch our shows live by clicking WATCH above and download our app to watch our livestream and see your favorite shows anytime you want!
