Nevada County Now is a local community program that is much more than just the average news show. It currently has over 150 individuals committed to helping produce this program. It includes on-the-street pieces, a variety of segments, in-depth interviews, community spotlights, and more.

All of the individuals on camera are volunteers, as are some of the crew. Nevada County Media provides a robust internship program that helps individuals learn how to write, produce, record, and edit all that is involved with this program.

Individuals in the community can submit stories, ideas, content, and questions, as well as try out for any number of on-camera positions. NCN was designed to involve many people in the community, and it does. No news is too small for NCN. The team donates hundreds of hours each year to cover a handful of community events.

Sponsorship and underwriting (aka advertising) are extremely affordable, and are always a solid choice for getting seen or helping get your message out there.
