Governmental television in Shrewsbury began with Town Meeting coverage in 1987. In February of 2002, a separate access channel dedicated to governmental access was created on SGTV 30. Today, Governmental Access continues to provide this important public service with regular coverage of every session of Town Meeting plus nine municipal or regional boards. Governmental Access gives a media voice to municipal government and provides citizens with a window into the workings of our municipal (and, from time to time, state and federal) government. Currently, this programming is shown exclusively on Shrewsbury Media Connection, Channel 30.

All meetings televised are Gavel-to-gavel. Our policy for all meetings televised by Governmental Access, whether live or taped, provides for coverage that is: Gavel-to-gavel - you see the entire meeting as if you were there. Unedited - no information is removed or changed for time or other reasons. Uncensored - we exercise no control over the content of the telecast. Unbiased - no outside commentary or analysis is added.
