Circle of Change

CTV is a proud Member of Community Shares - a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote a more just and caring community by raising donations from payroll deduction campaigns and fundraising activities which go to support problem-solving organizations addressing the root causes of social issues.

On Saturday, April 17th Community Shares will be holding the 2010 Circle of Change Awards Dinner & Fundraising Auction. During the event, The Danny Mayfield Champion of Change Award will be presented to a leader in our community who has championed an initiative or campaign whose goal is to change conditions that create injustice. The Heart of Change Award will be presented to someone in our community who has made social change a significant part of their life's work by working to create or strengthen one or more grassroots organizations whose mission is to address some form of injustice.   Read more

First Friday

CTV regularly holds a "First Friday" event every month in conjunction with the other events that take place in the evening on the first Friday of each month in downtown Knoxville. Our event, which is held from 5 pm until 7 pm, often features video screenings and face-to-face interaction with local artists of all types of media.

Our event always includes a facility tour and light refreshments. The event is free and open to the public. Our next First Friday event will be held May 7th. Check back for details.   Read more

Readers Theatre

CTV welcomes community groups interested in producing "Reader's Theater" projects to air on the channel in the evenings or during the overnight hours. Reader's Theater projects could be an interesting option of special interest to youth groups, seniors, or other groups that meet on a regular basis for social interaction. Projects could be as simple as one or two people reading a story to several people reading different parts of a play. The production could even include sound effects!  Read more

Building Community . . .

“We moved to Knoxville twelve years ago from Northern Illinois, and have been so pleased with the television choices available to Knoxville residents, particularly Community Television. We have learned much about the local medical profession and have availed ourselves of particular doctor and hospital services as a result of Community Television shows.”
