Calcasieu Government Channel (C-Gov)

Tom Hoefer, Director

The mission of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Government Channel is to make local government more accessible and understandable to the citizens of Calcasieu Parish; to inform residents on local government, government services, and public affairs; and to facilitate the exchange of public information.

The channel will accomplish its mission by:

• Informing citizens on the operations and activities of Calcasieu Parish government and its agencies.
• Increasing citizen access to Police Jury meetings through the televising of these sessions.
• Providing informative public affairs television programs of interest and value to residents of Calcasieu Parish which are not otherwise available or provided by other sources.
• Covering public forums and events of concern and interest to residents of Calcasieu Parish.
• Creating a library of local programming for historical preservation.
• Emphasizing professional quality in the delivery of programming on the Channel.
• Ensuring that programming is fair, accurate, and balanced, without regard to partisanship or ideology.
• Using community resources and interns in the operation of the Channel in order to support community life in Calcasieu Parish and also to minimize costs.
