As the Jefferson City Council looks at reducing funds for the city's public, educational and government access channel, some have questioned what role the station plays outside of city contributions.
One of the early issues the city identified with JCTV when the cuts were first proposed was the concern that the station had not turned out to be what originally was envisioned.
When the cuts initially came up, city officials said the original idea was the station would be used as part of the university's communication curriculum, an idea that never came to full fruition.
