Television, an important message-delivery system for the County, allows citizens to experience speeches and presentations with all the important subtext: inflection, facial expressions, charts, graphs and other visual aids. Often TV is better than being there and it is always more convenient.

TVgwinnett (Channel 23) offers more than just speeches and presentations. It also carries specially produced shows on County services and facilities, police and fire academy graduations, groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremonies, talk shows, military news, and special events. The channel also carries text messages about government programs, policies, events, and facilities. Programming on the cable channel is replayed frequently to give citizens ample opportunity to view or record programming.
