The Authority plays back programming on public access channels across the state. However, we do not have a playback site in every town. Below you will find a list of the towns and cities of Rhode Island, where playback for each town originates, and a phone number to call if you have questions about playback in general or a program in particular.

The Authoritys' staff provide playback throughout the year, with four exceptions. There is no program playback on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. There is limited playback on the Statewide Interconnect on New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve, with regular schedules ending at 5pm on those two days. The Authority staff does provide program playback on the other major holidays during the year.
