Nevada County Now is a local community news program that is much more than just the average news show. NCN is produced five days a week, mostly from the NCM studio and occasionally from a community event. It currently has over 150 individuals committed to helping produce this program. It includes on-the-street episodes, a variety of segments (from sports to entertainment and a bunch in between), 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 (which is a ton). The teams include one NCM staff member.

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 NCM team donates hundreds of hours each year to cover a handful of community events, other coverage around the community may have a small fee.

Membership to NCM is not required in order to appear on this show, however there may be a small fee to appear in certain segments for non members (promotion of your work or services). Sponsorship and underwriting (aka advertising) are extremely affordable, and are always a solid choice for getting seen or helping get your message out there.

Our facility makes it easy to create and produce a variety of programs. Our distribution covers cable, YouTube, Social Media, Spotify, Roku, and movie theaters.
