MNN broadcasts 24/7 on four community access channels that reach more than 620,000 cable subscribers on the RCN, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon FiOS systems. The network also offers free training and certification classes in video production, editing and broadcasting, and its studios, editing facilities, and camera equipment are available free of charge to Manhattan residents.
