ACC Cable Channel

Video Support Services operates and schedules an educational cable access channel to provide television services for the benefit of ACC students, faculty and staff as well as the Central Texas community, on three major cable systems throughout the Central Texas area: Time Warner Cable, Grande Communications and Suddenlink Communications. ACC's cable channel is 19 (channel 6 for Suddenlink subscribers). Find ACC cable channel information for your area.

The ACC cable channel is included in the basic cable package for all three providers. If you already have cable service through one of these providers, you do not need to make any additional arrangements through the cable company to view the ACC channel. Students who do not currently have cable service may contact the cable provider in their area for installation information and fees. It is the responsibility of the student to pay the monthly cable charges.
