Starting October 4, viewers will notice a programming change on CCX Media channels 12 and 799.
Instead of a daily News and Cities Stories, staff will shift to a weekly newscast and a weekly Cities Stories show. The show will be new every Saturday, air throughout the week on the two cable channels, and will have all of the hyper-local stories that you’ve come to expect from CCX Media.
Our staff is still turning daily stories and you can see those on our website, our social media channels, on our YouTube channels, and in our email newsletter, where stories are delivered to your inbox every day.
The programming changes are largely due to adjusting to declining revenue. Since 2017, our funding has been falling due to people moving away from cable television. Our revenue has fallen 40 percent since 2017, so we are having to make some tough adjustments.
For 40 years, CCX Media has been dedicated to telling the stories of the northwest suburbs, and we plan to continue telling those stories.
Thank you for watching,
Shannon Slatton Schwartz, executive director
