Forsyth County residents have a new source for local government information. The Forsyth County government access channel, TV Forsyth, is now airing on Comcast channel 23.
TV Forsyth broadcasts live the meetings of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals. Those meetings are also rebroadcast on the channel, as are meetings of the Forsyth County Board of Education. The channel features original local programming focused on informing citizens about the county and electronic bulletin board messages providing information about government meetings, events, programs and more.
"We are very pleased to be able to provide this local programming to the citizens of Forsyth County," Forsyth County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charles Laughinghouse said. "The channel will serve as a valuable means of getting local government information to our residents."
The government access channel is made possible through the county's franchise agreement with Comcast and will receive capital support via Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) fees, which Comcast customers will note appearing on their bills.
