About One Albuquerque Media

One Albuquerque Media is the local government access cable television channel in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The FCC has defined government access channels as "intended for use by local governmental bodies for informing the public about what is happening in government."

One Albuquerque Media Beginnings

Originally called City Cable and GOV TV 16 the station began transmitting on channel 30 of Jones Intercable Inc., with a staff of two in 1981. GOV expanded programming to include coverage of Bernalillo County government meetings and events in 1984. The GOV facilities underwent extensive remodeling in 1985 when government offices moved in to the new Government Center building. 1992 saw an elaborate re-engineering and rewiring of the facility greatly boosting the production capacity of the channel. In 1995, the channel acquired a two camera mobile production van.
