Carson City enjoys two cable access channels – Channel 26, the government channel, and Access Carson City 10, the community access channel. Most local government meetings are aired live on Channel 26, providing instant information on what is happening in city government. Channel 10 provides insight into community events and broadcasts offerings from local producers. Channels 2, 4 and 8 are based in Reno and are the national channels. PBS is channel 5.
 
The Nevada Appeal is our hometown newspaper and covers all local events. The Reno Gazette Journal also covers some of the events in Carson City. Other regional papers such as the Sierra Sage provide a different point of view. The Sierra Scoop is a popular publication offering many discount coupons for area businesses.
