The Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Access Corporation (CMPAC) is a private, non-profit corporation that was incorporated in May of 2000 for the purpose of operating the public access channel (Access 21) on the Spectrum cable system serving Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte.

Our goal is to make Access 21 one of the leading public access channels in the country. We are "The People's Voice" In the community and that voice will be one of which all Mecklenburg County residents can be proud.

The production facilities consist of everything to produce a quality television program, including two HD television studios, four Digital Editing suites, and our new podcasting studio.
