Rochester residents' input sought on GovTV survey

ROCHESTER - The City of Rochester invites residents to participate in the 2025 GovTV Community Engagement Survey to better understand the needs of viewers, improve services, and plan for the future.

GovTV, formerly known as the Rochester Government Channel, is committed to delivering reliable, quality access to important government meetings and community information.

GovTV is available on Breezeline Channel 26, Comcast Channel 22, and streaming devices like Apple, Fire, and Roku by searching "Rochester NH." Viewers can also access live streams, an on-demand library, archived meetings, and other city-related content on the City's website.

The survey seeks input on how residents watch GovTV, which programs they prefer and watch frequently, and what types of content they'd like to see in the future. Questions also address the accessibility of current programming, preferred viewing platforms, and suggestions for technical improvements.

The City of Rochester's cable television franchise agreement with Comcast is scheduled for renewal in 2027. To prepare for negotiations, GovTV staff are asking specific questions to cable TV viewers. Public feedback will play an important role in informing future discussions with Comcast.

Participants can take the survey online by clicking here. Physical copies are available near the Community Bulletin Board inside City Hall, 31 Wakefield Street. The extended survey deadline is Monday.
