BTV10 is available to citizens and businesses in the greater Bellingham area that receive cable television services from Comcast Cable. Our programming is available on channel 10.
Residents and businesses in Whatcom County will also see BTV10 on channel 10, unless another community or government jurisdiction provides access programming.
BTV10 airs programs that are sponsored by publicly funded government and education institutions, in order to meet our mission of providing information about the City of Bellingham and other public agencies to the greater Bellingham community. Most sponsoring agencies are located in the Bellingham area; however some material is provided by Washington State and Federal government agencies.
If you are aware of a program that you believe falls within the above criteria, and would like to discuss potential broadcast, please contact the City’s Communication Coordinator in the Office of the Mayor.
If your organization is a publicly funded, government or education institution we can post information about upcoming meetings or events on our Community Bulletin Board which airs several times each day. Simply send pertinent information in an email (Who, What, Where, When) to btv10@cob.org. Its best to send the information several weeks before the event is scheduled to take place. If you have a question about whether or not your organization fits into the "publicly funded, government or education institution" category, please call the City's Communication Coordinator in the Office of the Mayor.

We replaced some older equipment and systems, reviewed content and schedules, and prepared a more contemporary and user-friendly format for the delivery of information on Channel 10. Improvements also include creating this website and on-line program schedule.
