Community Media Access Program

About Us

Our Mission

Community Media Access Partnership(CMAP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to help citizens, schools, businesses, non-profits and public agencies to connect with our community through the use of media. 

 

We are located downtown Gilroy, near old city hall. CMAP provides a range of production tools and training, available to the community little to no cost. Our facility includes a TV studio, podcast studio, editing suites, meeting spaces and more.

In addition, CMAP has three television channels on Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, and YouTube. These platforms are available to our community producers to distribute the video and audio programming they create for the public. 

We are located at 7500 Monterey Street, in the heart of Downtown Gilroy, California. This lively area is surrounded by local shops, cozy cafés, and art galleries, creating a unique blend of culture and community. The neighborhood features both historic and modern architecture that reflects Gilroy’s agricultural roots. Known as the ‘Garlic Capital of the World,’ Gilroy is famous for its annual Garlic Festival. With its friendly atmosphere, this area offers a great place to explore and experience the local culture.
