What is DMA?
Dakota Media Access is a non-profit organization serving as a media access point for the Bismarck-Mandan area.
What does that mean?
Government Transparency
DMA records and broadcasts local meetings that are making big changes in the community.
Community Involvement
We partner with Bismarck-Mandan producers and organizations to create programs by locals, for locals.
2 TV Channels & a Radio Station
Our content is available across several platforms and mediums.
Dakota Media Access started in 1987 as CAT TV with only one channel. We have expanded over the years and now have two channels and a radio station. Through changes in technology and name, we still work with the same idea in mind:
keeping public access public.
