BronxNet is a public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable television network in The Bronx, New York, airing on multiple Cablevision and Verizon FiOS channels.[1] BronxNet is located on the campus of Lehman College,[2] and at a new studio, "BronxNet East", in the Mercy University campus at 1200 Hutchinson Metro Center.[3]
BronxNet produces some original programming, notably Bronx Flavor,[4] a food-oriented comedy series which focuses on ethnic cuisine and restaurants in the borough.
Bronxnet is a not-for-profit organization that was created under a joint agreement between Cablevision of New York City and the City of New York. The channel provides training for local residents of the Bronx, as well as students who attend a school located in the Bronx. The television production training is available four times a year. The station just produced its 900th episode in late October.
The various channels offer different types of programming such as original local issue programs, shows produced by local residents highlighting local arts and artists, foreign language programs produced by local residents and programs produced by local churches.
