Welcome to the Community Television Association of Ireland Website
Community content Television Assocation Ltd is operating under the name of Community Tv Association on this site.
The main aim of the Community Television Association (CTA) is to build a vibrant, well-resourced and effective Community Television sector on the island of Ireland. Community Television channels are characterized by their community based ownership and programming and by their interaction with the community they are licensed to serve. Such channels are owned and controlled by not-for-profit organizations whose structures provide for membership, management, operation and programming primarily by members of the community at large. Community channels are based on community access and address the special interests and needs of those they are licensed to serve. In supporting these principles, the community channel serves as a tool for community development.The CTA is a membership-based organisation that represents and promotes the interests of the community television sector. Current membership consists of two operating community television channels (P5tv and DCTV), one incipient channel (CCTV) and other community media organisations (Ballymun Comunications, Community Media Network, Community Visual Images, Development Media Workshop, Dundalk Media Centre, Frameworks Films, the Media Coop, Leitrim Media Centre).
