NECAT Network

The NECAT Network, known formally as the Nashville Education, Community and Arts Television Network, is a group of local non-commercial educational public and educational access television channels headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, and serving the entire Middle Tennessee region. Broadcast facilities and headquarters are located at 120 White Bridge Road in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee.

History

The NECAT Network was founded after the Metro Nashville city government-backed merger of Metropolitan Educational Access Corporation and the Community Access Corporation. Both organizations had 30 years of operating locally owned cable channels in the Nashville area.[1]

Through its franchise agreement with the city government, the NECAT Network’s channels are partially funded by main cable server Comcast and the city government.

Like many other public access television stations, local residents can produce their own programs with these channels.

The NECAT Network operates three non-commercial public and educational access cable-exclusive television stations. Here are the channels that the NECAT Network operates:

These channels are also available in 19 middle Tennessee counties via AT&T U-Verse.
