Rogue Valley Community Television

RVTV continues to provide a healthy, community-minded alternative to 30-second attack ads and slick mailers — bringing viewers in-depth coverage of our city, county and state candidates for public office.

In addition to our long-running partnership with the Ashland Chamber of Commerce to produce the Chamber Legislative Forum series, RVTV also produced a Jackson County Sheriff Candidates Debate this month thanks to the generous support of David & Kat Noble, as well as a Candidates Town Hall moderated by Jefferson Public Radio which features Oregon State Senate candidates Jessica Gomez & Jeff Golden.

With their commitment to civic spirit and citizen journalism firmly in mind, we’d also like to highlight the work of our Public Access Producer community — these are independent television creators who volunteer their time to create content for RVTV Voices.

Here’s the rundown of what our local public access folks have been up to in an effort to better inform voters before this important vote on November 6:
