In an era dominated by global media giants and digital streaming services, hyperlocal community television channels like Piscataway Community TV, (PCTV) continue to play a crucial role in maintaining a sense of community, fostering local engagement, and providing residents with content that truly matters to them. PCTV is not just another channel on the dial; it is a valuable resource that serves the Piscataway residents and the residents of Central NJ by keeping them informed, entertained, and connected. That value was never more apparent than during the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy in October 2012 or during the World Wide Pandemic in 2020. During these crises, Piscataway Community Television was always a constant source for the residents to find necessary hyperlocal information for their local officials that kept them safe and informed.
