Access Center was created as part of Manhattan Neighborhood Network's continuing involvement in the Community Media Advanced project a multi-station initiative to run Community Media Centers using Drupal open source web software. Through this initiative, centers across the country including Open Signal, PhillyCam, RETN, and St. Paul Neighborhood Network – to name just a few – have worked collaboratively to build next generation software, using code that is free to all, in keeping with the ethos and spirit of public access.
