NYC Media is the radio, television, and online media network of the City of New York. It oversees four public television channels, two public radio services, and an Internet video on demand service.[1]

Located in the Manhattan Municipal Building at 1 Centre Street, NYC Media occupies the tower portion, from the 25th floor to the 29th floor. It also has offices located on the campus of the Bronx Community College, the basement of City Hall and 112 Tillary Street in Brooklyn, as well as transmission facilities in Brooklyn, the Empire State Building and the Conde Nast Building in Times Square.[citation needed]

NYC Media is an amalgamation of channels, studios, distributionand and production entities.[citation needed] NYC Media was originally called NYC TV when it took over Crosswalks Television in 2003; it became NYC Media Group when it acquired control of broadcast stations WNYE-FM and WNYE-TV as well.

In late 2009, it was announced that NYC Media Group would be split off from the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications and merge with the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting.[citation needed] As of 2010, the president and general manager of NYC Media is Katherine Oliver, who has also been Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting since 2002, and before that was general manager of television and radio at Bloomberg L.P., owned by New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

  • NYC life, is NYC Media's flagship television station and broadcasts as WNYE-TV channel 25.1 as well as appearing on local cable television as channel 22 on Cablevision and on channel 25 on other cable services.[1]
  • NYC gov, sometimes still called NYC TV 74, covers city government meetings and press conferences. It appears on most local cable services as channel 74.[1]
