Services
The Ohio Channel streams video of official sessions live over the internet and broadcasts those sessions live on over-the-air PBS affiliates across the state of Ohio. Videos are immediately archived on the web for future viewing. Ohio Senate and Ohio House of Representatives sessions from 1996 to the present are available for viewing online, and coverage and archives of the Supreme Court of Ohio oral arguments from 2004 to the present are also available.
Unofficial events are covered by The Ohio Channel on a by-request basis from state organizations and agencies holding the event. Hundreds of Governor's bill signings and news conferences of the Ohio General Assembly, Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, Ohio Attorney General, Ohio State Treasurer and many administrative agencies are available online.
In addition to providing video coverage of state government, The Ohio Channel also distributes public affairs and educational programming. By partnering with PBS stations around the state, The Ohio Channel broadcasts videos of regional radio talk programs including WOSU-FM's All Sides with Ann Fisher and WKSU's The Sound of Ideas, plus rebroadcasts of WOSU-TV's Columbus On The Record and WVIZ's Ideas. The Ohio Channel also broadcasts its own programming featuring Ohio history, culture and public affairs.
The Ohio Channel updates weekly its broadcast schedule, and the channel locator allows viewers to find the Ohio Channel based on region of the state and distributor.
