In the Fall of 2004, a group of concerned citizens came together to form the Fort Collins Public Access Network (FC PAN) a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and strengthening public access television in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Short Term Goals

• To find a permanent location for the FC PAN offices and studio.
• To establish a community presence and facilitate increased public access programming.
• To expand and diversify public access programming.
• To form collaborative partnerships with other Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) entities for work on projects that will benefit the entire community.

Why Public Access Television is Important for the Community

• Public access gives citizens an opportunity to actively voice their opinions.
• It promotes awareness of community issues.
• It is a medium through which local information, events and talent can be shared.
• It helps promote community diversity through its range of programming.
• Schools can use it as a tool in the classroom.
• Serves as a balancing faction for corporate media.

Our Mission

The Fort Collins Public Access Network will operate in the public interest by encouraging participation in civic life as well as fostering artistic and cultural expression. The Network will also facilitate better communication between non-profit organizations and the community they serve. FC PAN will energetically support all individuals as they explore their creativity through the medium of public access television. The Network will also serve as a balancing faction for the corporate presence in the media.
