Mobile County Public Schools TV Network online television

Mobile County Public Schools TV Network (mcpssTV) is an educational access television channel owned and operated by the Mobile County Public School System (MCPSS) in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The channel was founded in 2014 as part of the school district's effort to improve outreach and communication with the public, and is headquartered at the Mobile County Public School System's central office at 1 Magnum Pass, Mobile, Alabama. As a dedicated source for online television, mcpssTV broadcasts 24 hours a day in the English language, focusing on educational content, school events, and community programming.

The programming schedule allows viewers to watch live channel coverage of live high school graduations, sports events including football games of the week, volleyball and basketball games, academic competitions such as spelling bees and Brain Bowl, fine arts performances, and Board of Education meetings. The channel's flagship program is Homeroom, a 30-minute talk show originally hosted by Nancy Pierce, the school system's spokesperson, covering news and events within the district. The channel also produces Community Connections hosted by Marcie McNeal, MCPSS Athletics with countywide Athletic Director Calvin Crist, Cooking with Class hosted by Child Nutrition Director Suzanne Yates, On the Move featuring student journalists covering school news, Ay, Caray for Spanish lessons, Art Today art class programming, and safety education content. The channel also airs educational programming from partners including NASA and PBS, as well as Garry Finch Outdoors, Kid Fitness, Enviropals, Nature Adventures, Art Through Time, World Literature, Documentaries, Western Tradition (Western Civilization), and U.S. Economics.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, MCPSS partnered with WALA-TV (Fox 10) to broadcast live classroom lessons for pre-K through 11th grade students on digital subchannel 10.6, delivering 33 hours of weekly lessons including elementary reading and math, middle school social studies, high school biology, chemistry, algebra, art, and music instruction taught by master teachers. Lessons also aired on sister station WJTC-UTV44 for two hours each weekday morning. The initiative aimed to reach all 53,000 students in the district equitably, regardless of access to computers and the internet.

For audiences seeking a reliable live stream of educational and school event content, mcpssTV is widely available as a free-to-air service via cable television in the Mobile area on Comcast channel 15 and AT&T U-verse On Demand channel 99. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the channel was also available on Mediacom channel 81 and over-the-air via WALA-TV's digital subchannel 10.6. The channel is accessible via Roku devices through the MCPSS TV channel app, which is also available for Android TV, providing access to both scheduled programming and live broadcasts of sports and community events. The channel can be streamed online through the district's website at mcpss.com and via third-party streaming platforms such as Teleon TV. The district also maintains a YouTube channel and a podcast called Learning Leading Now available on various podcast apps. The channel's remote production unit, built from a converted van, allows live streaming of football games, awards ceremonies, graduations, groundbreakings, musicals, and band concerts from locations across the district.
