University of Dayton Programming to Begin on EATV Channel 21 in 2022
The University of Dayton strives to link learning and scholarship with leadership and service. That mission takes the next step thanks to a collaborative effort with the Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC) to share television programming on Educational Access Channel EATV21 starting in 2022.
Programs such as A Promise Fulfilled and 90-Second Lectures, along with presentations and documentaries, are just some of the shows that will begin cablecasting on the channel. Plans for additional future content are underway as well.

In the past year, MVCC has also established programming agreements with the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Five Rivers Metroparks, Washington-Centerville Public Library and Washington Township. For more information, go to www.mvcc.net.
History
Miami Valley Communications Council is a municipal communications and technology organization representing the eight member cities of Centerville, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Oakwood, Springboro and West Carrollton. The council also has affiliate agreements with other Miami Valley cities. MVCC was formed in 1975 as a council of governments to monitor, regulate, and administer common cable television franchise agreements, manage the operation of the council's cable access television channels, and develop and implement intergovernmental projects designed to strengthen communications between member cities and their citizens. A policy-making body consisting of delegates representing member cities governs the council.
Funding
MVCC is funded through franchise fees paid by the cable service provider. Franchise fees are rent that the cable company pays for placing its wires over or under the public rights-of-way (streets.) MVCC uses these franchise fees to support its community access television activities, cooperative intergovernmental projects, and to explore new and changing technologies that will benefit member communities. The council, in turn, provides many services to our communities at little or no cost.
