About the Colorado Channel
The Mission of the Colorado Channel is:
- To make Colorado state government open, accessible, and transparent.
- To provide direct, unfiltered, and noncommercial access to the work of Colorado state government.
- To promote civic awareness and public participation in Colorado state government, including the provision of educational programming.
Who we are . . .
The Colorado Channel provides live and repeat coverage of the Colorado General Assembly’s floor work. We further serve as an educational resource, providing insight into the legislative process. In addition to producing our own content, we provide access to content from other state policy making entities.
In 2009, control over the Colorado Channel was given to the Colorado Channel Authority Board (CCAB) through passage of HB09-1307.
As a political subdivision of the state, the CCAB is not an agency of state government nor is it subject to administrative direction by the state and is not legally obligated to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select contractors.
However, the CCAB welcomes inquiries to provide the above-mentioned services.
Live Streaming and Archiving
Since the Colorado Channel’s inception in 2008, live streaming and online archiving services have been provided by the Open Media Foundation (OMF), a Colorado 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
