In December, the Pinellas County government access television station got a new number on the digital dial.

Now it has a new name. What was Pinellas 18 is now Pinellas County Connection Television.

County officials say the new name represents the channel's mission of connecting people to their government. You can catch broadcasts of government meetings and other programs on the channel. Pinellas County Connection Television can be found on Bright House Networks Channel 622 and Knology Channel 18.
