About the Channel

The channel provides information to the public about city services and activities including:

• Weekly Metropolitan Council meetings
• East Baton Rouge Parish School Board meetings
• Library Board meetings
• Local events such as community meetings, road work updates, and job opportunities
• Planning and Zoning Commission meetings

On a daily basis, the Arts Showcase can be seen, offering viewers video samplings of art, music, ballet, theatrical performances and classic film. This is broadcast by satellite and made available free to Metro21.

In case of an emergency, Metro21 will broadcast valuable information to the public 24 hours a day, throughout the event. Information will be broadcast live or tape delayed, during emergencies such as hurricanes, flooding, chemical spills, etc.

Metro21 Goals

Our goal is to expose as many people as possible to the workings of local government so that they will know about the services provided by the City-Parish and how each citizen can make a contribution to their community.
