ACCESS/ICTV community television on Shaw cable 4, the cable 
community channel in Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley.   

Saltwater City Television and EarthSeen are regularly scheduled 
volunteer-produced community television programs produced by 
the not-for-profits ACCESS Association of Chinese Canadians for 
Equality and Solidarity Society and ICTV Independent Community 
Television Co-operative. 

Thanks to Community Media Education Society (CMES), the Chinese 
Canadian National Council (CCNC), the National Anti-Racism Council 
of Canada (NARCC) and the Status Through Action Towards Unity and 
Solidarity (STATUS) Coalition for their human and morale resources.

Please do not ask me for copies unless you can pay for or barter an hour 
of time. We do this so people can record our programs off-the-air. If you 
don’t have cable, ask a friend. No friends with cable becomes a special 
situation if you really need copy. Better yet, join us and you can make 
all the copies you want and even produce some television.
