Access Center Resources
Access Center is MNN's custom online producer portal. Producers are given an Access Center account once they have attended any MNN class. Once you have an account you can login to Access Center here, and then:
- Sign up for MNN classes
- Make Reservations - once they've passed an appropriate MNN class
- Find Crew for their show, or find another show to Crew on
- View their cablecast schedule on MNN's channels
- Add their show to MNN's Program pages
Access Center was created as part of MNN's continuing involvement in the Community Media Advanced project a multi-station initiative to run Community Media Centers using Drupal open source web software. Through this initiative, centers across the country including Open Signal, PhillyCam, RETN, and St. Paul Neighborhood Network – to name just a few – have worked collaboratively to build next-generation software, using code that is free to all, in keeping with the ethos and spirit of public access.
