Description automatically generatedOn this month’s County Magazine, Channel 16 is celebrating 40 years of excellence in government television.  It all began on September 10, 1984, when Fairfax County Government Channel 16 recorded the first Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Over the years, our channel has broadened its programming to include relevant, inclusive, and accessible content for everyone. The information shared enhances transparency, supports civic engagement and promotes the county story resulting in a well-informed public, active involvement and strong connections.  Don’t miss the special anniversary edition of County Magazine, where you can learn about Channel 16’s expanded operations, explore its historical timeline, and hear cherished memories from current and former county leaders and staff.
