Organization Description

TVW is Washington’s national award-winning public affairs network providing gavel-to-gavel coverage of the activities of all three branches of state government via cable television and web-streaming. Since our television signal went live in 1995, TVW has provided an unfiltered, unedited, and unbiased lens into the workings of state government. The organization operates on three guiding principles; 1) provide open access to state government for everyone, 2) produce non-partisan content by offering “gavel-to-gavel” coverage allowing our viewers to make up their own mind about issues, 3) facilitate civics education and work to inform Washington residents of all ages about their state government and the legislative process.

The staff is comprised of 30 Full Time Employees based in our offices and studio in Olympia, Washington.
