CAN TV's Community Partners Project is a community service initiative that directly reaches Chicago neighborhoods. A key component of the project is local events coverage in which CAN TV videotapes and cablecasts public forums, town hall meetings, community events and other activities of local interest. Through this service, CAN TV provides Chicagoans with access to information they may not otherwise have through commercial television.
