Cable TV was once the ultimate entertainment necessity. The over-the-air days of VHF/UHF television signals couldn’t keep up with voracious viewers who needed more, more, more channels. Having a cable directly pumping all that content into your home became the norm, and the cable providers provided local City Access Channels as well.
Public Access staff available: Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm

But cable providers didn’t factor in that the Internet would provide cheaper and alternative TV services. “Cord Cutting“ was born—doing away with pay TV to get all your “television” programming via Internet streaming services. Gary residents soon followed suit and cut the cable cord for streaming. However this cut meant the lost of receiving the local City Access Channels.
Just download the Gary TV Channel on your Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV service and receive City of Gary media “Live” and 24/7 Video on Demand. Our media services can also be found on Gary’s official Facebook and YouTube sites as well.
