Portsmouth is something special. Let's broadcast it!

PPMtv is the only member-driven community access television station in the Seacoast area. In a city that values the arts, creativity, and expression, PPMtv offers many a powerful voice.  As a nonprofit, we depend on memberships and donations to support our growth.

We are an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so your contribution is deductible to the extent the law allows. Please ask about our sponsorship and program underwriting packages.
If you’d rather pay by check, please fill out the application and mail to

Important to know…In the tradition of public broadcasting, we do not sell advertising airtime on our cable channel, nor do we accept commercial ads. We do welcome program underwriting, and other sponsorships are available. Members support our mission of providing fair access to all area residents, creating a new local community on cable TV, online and at our new facility, and restoring the City’s 1867 historic building for its new purpose as Portsmouth’s Public Meetinghouse, PPMtv.
