Production

EastLink TV shows are produced by crews composed of both television professionals and community volunteers. Some programs, such as live sports events or EastLink Magazine, will generally have more volunteers on crew than EastLink TV employees.

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 be possible otherwise.

In Greater Sudbury, Saugeen Shores and Timmins, the community channels were previously branded as EastLink TV News, a holdover from the branding used by these stations when they were operated by PersonaTV. Then in 2018, the branding of all community channels changed to EastLink Community TV.
