Become a DCTV Supporter
Funding for Defiance Community Television's operations comes in the form of franchise fees originated by local cable subscribers. Although we strive to provide quality programming with minimal expense, it is important to us that we continually improve our productions for our community.
DCTV reaches out to the community for donations by seeking underwriters for local event coverage. The funds we raise are utilized to offset costs associated with the production such as recording tape and equipment maintenance and repair.
