As the Internet transforms the World, GovTV can provide your government a new way of educating its citizens about government and its services.   This new service is similar to traditional government channels on cable and broadcast television, but with all of the benefits of the Internet.   An Online Government Channel by GovTV is the only way for local government to broadly distribute informational government television On-Demand, and with unlimited supporting documents. The evolution of government channels from cable television to the Internet has arrived with GovTV’s Online Government Channel.

“On-demand Internet television offers the viewer so much more than traditional television,” says Jeffrey Cole, Director of the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School of Communication.  “In the 1980s, cable companies were required to provide government access channels.  This was a noble idea, but compared to what the Internet can do in this area, television is almost a 19th century technology.”

According to Marshal Mcluhan, known for his concept that “the medium is the message,” Internet Television is the latest mass medium since the introduction of television itself.”  Traditional television and the Internet are merging before our eyes and will become a new innovative, educational, single mass media.
