The Library Channel

Pikes Peak Library District established a Video Production Center in 1988 to document local history and provide promotional support for the District. Access to its own cable channel, The Library Channel - Comcast Channel 17, was provided in 1991. With the new franchise agreement approved by voters in November 2000, Pikes Peak Library District obtained a full-time channel and access to a state-of-the-art fiber network that will connect the Library with the city and various educational institutions in the area. The Library Channel reaches 120,000 households in El Paso County and can potentially be seen by more than 250,000 people. The Library Channel Schedule is located in the Happenings event calendar published monthly by the District.

Since the Video Center opened, several of its award-winning documentaries have been shown on the History Channel and have received national and regional awards, including an Emmy nomination.
