Eastlink Community TV is the brand forEastlink'scommunity channels that serveNorthern Ontario,New Brunswick,Newfoundland and Labrador,Nova Scotia andPrince Edward Island. As of 2009, the company's systems inWestern Canada are served by the distinctPersonaTV division.
The channels are known for providing weekly broadcasts of theQuebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Eastlink Community TV shows are produced by crews composed of both television professionals and community volunteers. Some programs, such as live sports events orEastlink Magazine, will generally have more volunteers on crew than Eastlink Community TV employees.[citation needed]
Providing training and opportunities for volunteers is both a duty under the terms of Eastlink's cable license, and an opportunity to produce a wider range of programming than would otherwise be possible.
In Greater Sudbury, Saugeen Shores and Timmins, the community channels were previously branded asEastlink TV News, a holdover from the branding used by these stations when they were operated byPersonaTV. Then in 2018, the branding of all community channels changed to Eastlink Community TV.
