Access (sometimes called Take 30 Access and CBC Access) was a Canadian Community television series which aired on CBC Television from 1974 to 1982, except 1981.

Contents

Premise

The series offered airtime to Canadian organisations to inform Canadians of their concerns and opinions. Groups applied to the CBC for the opportunity to produce an episode of Access. Successful applicants were given assistance by CBC staff to develop their programme in a four-week production time frame. Contents of the programmes were subject to CBC policies regarding political promotion, fundraising and defamatory content, in addition to CRTC regulations.

Scheduling and production

Access aired during the middle of each year, prior to the start of the fall programming season.
