The Customer
In operation since 1992, the Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN) is one of New York’s premier public access networks — giving citizens of Manhattan a powerful voice through the medium of cable television on an open, uncensored, and equitable basis. 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.
