City 12 (Madison)

The Madison City Channel (commonly known as City Channel 12 or City 12) is a government community access cable television station operated by the City of Madison, Wisconsin. The channel airs live and archived meetings and events involving the governments of the City of Madison and Dane County; reports and announcements from government officials and representatives; and programs on current events, issues, and services that affect the city and area.

The channel currently airs on Channel 12 of Charter Communications Madison cable system, on both the basic and digital tiers. On September 30, 2008, the channel will move to Channel 98 on Charter's analog cable tier and Channel 994 on the digital tier. An aborted relocation plan in August 2008 would have seen the channel move to the digital-only tier, a move allowed by a provision in the Video Competition Act that was passed by Wisconsin's legislature in 2007; the move faced objections from the member stations of the Wisconsin Association of PEG Channels.
