You can participate in public access in either of two ways:
  • Volunteer
  • Producer

A volunteer serves as a crew member for shows made by registered, paid producers. 

Volunteers can choose to help producers in the studio or on-location. 

Volunteering is a great way to meet producers and learn the ropes, especially if you are interested in starting your own show.
