About C-NET

C-NET is Centre County's Government and Education Access Television Network. C-NET administers of two channels, CGTV (channel 7) and CETV (channel 98) and also manages CentreConnect.org, a comprehensive countywide website database of non-profit, government, and education organizations.

Our programming ranges from public meetings to high school sports, concerts, and local festivals. A C-NET member agency must sponsor each program that airs on the channels. There are currently 14 members: Bellefonte Area School District, Bellefonte Borough, Centre County Government, Centre County Library, Centre Region Council of Governments, College Township, Ferguson Township, Halfmoon Township, Harris Township, Patton Township, Penn State University, Schlow Centre Region Library, State College Area School District, and State College Borough.

C-NET is governed by a Board of Directors, which consists of one representative from each of the thirteen participating organizations, and one representative from the CentreConnect Steering Committee. The Board decides major policy issues and guides the organization. The C-NET Board of Directors generally meets quarterly on the second Tuesday of the first month of each calendar quarter at 7:30 PM in the State College Municipal Building. Meetings are open to the public. (Meeting dates, location and times are subject to change).

Mission Statement
