Quincy Access Television
About
Quincy Access Television, known as QATV, is the city’s non-profit community media station, providing local programming for Quincy residents. Its public access channel carries sports, politics, cooking shows, local events and news, while a separate government access channel covers City Council and License Board meetings, elected officials, department updates and press conferences. The station’s mission is to educate, inform and entertain with programming that reflects the city’s values, culture and perspectives.
Beyond broadcasting, QATV gives residents a platform for media creation and community engagement. Recent programming has ranged from a Quincy Tree Alliance tour of the Olmsted-designed Thomas Crane Public Library lawn to a Beatles tribute band closing out the Friends Fridays season. Government meetings stream live online and are available on demand, making it easier for residents to follow local decisions without attending in person.
