Grafton Community Television (also known as GCTV) provides programming on three distinct cable television access channels in the Town of Grafton, MA. Charter Channel 11 / Verizon Channel 34 provides general interest (public access) programming, Charter Channel 12 / Verizon Channel 33 broadcasts town government programming, and Charter Channel 13 / Verizon Channel 32  features school programming and high school sports events. Weekly schedules for Grafton Community Television can be found on the Program Schedules page at www.GraftonTV.org or by watching the respective channel's bulletin board.

Grafton Community Television started in 1984 when the cable television system was first licensed in Grafton. Like many public access operations in Massachusetts GCTV has grown and is now responsible for coordinating all types of access television - public access, educational access and government access.

Grafton Community Television is essentially a TV studio and a resource center, but unlike commercial broadcast stations, it is not staffed with TV producers, camera operators, and technicians. Grafton Community Television's role is more like a combination school and equipment library where individuals and organizations are trained how to use TV production equipment and learn how to make TV shows, and then are provided the free use of equipment and cable channel time to produce and air their shows.
