NYC.TV is a new, online, public access-inspired, video-only platform "dedicated to creating, promoting, and distributing video" created in New York, by New Yorkers. And it currently needs your help to continue its awesome mission of providing an invaluable showcase for many of New York City's most inventive and ambitious moving image makers.

The minds behind NYC.TV -- Kareem Ahmed, Alexandra Serio, and Max Nelson, all vets of various media titans -- recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to help maintain its website of cool, eclectic, and carefully-curated content, with plenty of attractive prizes for backers who can hopefully raise $50,000 by Tuesday, July 7th, so that the site can continue to serve as an arena for some of this city's best unseen media creators to get their work the eyes it deserves.

Donate here, if you can, and even if you can't, be sure to tune in to the incredibly wide array of programming NYC.TV has to offer, a magnificently mixed, New York-centric bag of diverse people, places, and things, all in one location for your viewing ease and pleasure. Like the city it's based in, there's something here to appeal to all interests, from ongoing comedic web series and (wo)man-on-the-street features to diverse docuprofiles and original animated pieces.
