LexMedia
About
LexMedia is Lexington’s community access media center, a membership-based nonprofit that runs the town’s public, education and government cable channels. Its programming includes hyperlocal news, live broadcasts of government meetings, school events and sports, and on-the-ground coverage of Patriots’ Day. Residents can also produce their own shows: members get access to television studio and field equipment plus free training from staff, regardless of their skill or experience level.
The center describes its mission as preserving the town’s free-thinking legacy and supporting creative expression, technology and freedom of speech. The public channel, LPTV, carries locally produced programs such as cooking shows and an independent film celebration, while LETV focuses on schools and lifelong learning and LGTV covers the Board of Selectmen, School Committee and other town meetings. A summer filmmaking class for kids produced a short zombie film at the Media Center.
