Saint Paul Neighborhood Network

SPNN started as Cable Access St. Paul in 1985, and now operate five channels on the St. Paul Comcast cable system reaching 52,000 cable homes. SPNN is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 charity, supported by a major operating grant from Comcast Cable.

Our mission is to make media available, reflective and responsive to the needs of people in Saint Paul in order to increase understanding and respect for the diversity of people and ideas in our democratic society.

SPNN Youth Programs is the youth arm of SPNN. We provide access, training, and visibility to youth media makers. We run classes, internships, the Set it Up program, and more!

We encourage creativity, civic engagement, and media awareness. Youth use state of the art digital video cameras, non-linear editing systems, and multi-camera television studios at SPNN.

Everything produced at SPNN is aired on Youth Channel 16, which is devoted to sharing youth-produced video with the broader community in Saint Paul.
