Dakota Media Access (DMA) is a North Dakota non-profit, 501(C)(3) corporation with a volunteer board of directors drawn from the community. Originally incorporated in 1987 as Community Access Television, the organization was renamed Dakota Media Access in 2008 to better reflect the changing media landscape and the services we provide to the community. DMA serves the cities of Bismarck and Mandan by managing the production facilities, equipment, programming and distribution systems for the area’s public, educational and governmental media needs.

DMA supports Affirmative Action in employment, including active recruitment toward a staff which is inclusive regarding race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran’s status, national origin, religion, economic class, physical or mental disability, or HIV status. Inclusiveness is a desirable social policy and a contributing factor toward effective operation of the organization.
