The Miami-Dade County Cable Television Access Project, better known as Cable-TAP, reaches over 500,000 households on all cable systems in the county. Locally produced programs can be seen on the Cable-TAP Community Channel.

Cable-TAP assists non-profit organizations and educational institutions, providing services in Miami-Dade County with the production of informational television access programming that will air on the Cable-Tap Community Channel. Groups must be incorporated in the State of Florida and active for a minimum of six (6) months with a local chapter as the sponsor of the program. The organization must be able to show substantial organizational activities and responsibilities unrelated to the proposed programs. Technical assistance is provided at no cost while community producers are responsible for determining program content and guest selection.

The first step is to fill out the Cable-TAP Application Form below in addition to reading and signing the Programming Guidelines. Please submit all paperwork with a written request on your organization’s letterhead. The request letter should include information about some of the topics you wish to cover and an explanation of how these programs will help meet your organization’s goals. In addition, please attach a copy of the organization’s incorporation certification issued by the State of Florida.

All programming requests are filled on a first-come, first served-basis. Approximately six weeks before the taping of your first show, a pre-production meeting will be scheduled between your designated community producer and a Cable-TAP representative. At the preproduction meeting, responsibilities will be explained, taping dates will be set, and other details will be discussed. We look forward to working with your organization in producing a television series that best presents the services your organization provides the Miami-Dade community.
