Regent Park TV

Welcome to Regent Park TV

Regent Park TV — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 18:03:00 -0500

In the heart of Toronto the youth of Regent Park take us on a tour of their culturally diverse neighborhood. The journey however is not by foot or by car, rather through the lens of Regent Park TV (RPTV), an internet broadcast station.

Regent Park TV is a forum for local youth to voice their experiences, share their stories and explore issues that affect them and their community. The work is delivered in a range of formats including interviews, debates, short dramas, documentaries, news shows, public service announcements and Super8 films.

The local stories RPTV features, allows community members to see their own lives reflected. Together youth, and their community audience, co-create meaningful media rather than just act as consumers of mainstream television. This is empowering to both producers and viewers.

Check out the archives or tune in weekly to see a new segment of RPTV!

Regent Park TV is produced by the Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre located at:

600 Dundas Street East (Rear Basement)
Toronto, Ontario
M5A 2B9
Phone: (416) 863-1074
Email: focusflava@gmail.com

Currently, Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre is negotiating with Toronto Community Housing and local cable and Internet providers to develop Regent Park TV into a fully operational community television channel operated by young people. The redevelopment of Regent Park provides a ripe opportunity for this to happen. If you are interested in supporting this exciting initiative contact us.
