About City 12

WXXI-TV and the City of Rochester provide city residents with 14 hours a day of interesting, informative and entertaining new programming. The creation of a television station dedicated to providing City residents with information vital to daily living was the goal of this first-of-a kind partnership.

Every day you’ll find:

  • Helpful hints about city services, programs and events
  • Important news about City, State and World issues
  • Programs that teach reading, math, cooking, healthy eating, child rearing, coping with pressures and fighting substance abuse
  • Useful information about public service agencies and programs
  • Interesting subjects for women, minorities and senior citizens
  • Movies, music, literature, exercise and popular shows, award-winning news commentators and children’s programs.

Viewed only within city limits on Time Warner Cable, City 12 is a milestone in television history helping you learn more about your City, your government and yourself.

Visit the City 12 pages at the City of Rochester site for more information.

Rochester City Council Meetings

The Rochester City Council Full Meetings & Committee Meetings air live on City 12. The meetings are held in the City Council Chambers.

What’s Good Rochester

What’s Good Rochester replaces the longstanding “CityWise” TV program and its talk show format with an ongoing compilation of entertaining, engaging and informative short-form photo and video essays that highlights positive, topical and interesting aspects of Rochester.

What’s Good Rochester welcomes submissions of community-created videos and photos to compliment its first party content. Submissions can range from life skills, to community heroes, to unique businesses and dining experiences to recreation, culture, arts, history and, really, anything that exemplifies and embodies the character of our great city. Professional production is welcome but not necessary.

Watch on YouTube here.

Market Flavors

Market flavors is a coproduction of What’s Good Rochester and WXXI. The show is filmed on-location inside the iconic City of Rochester Public Market. 

Each episode features a local chef creating an entrée packed with flavor, using fresh and healthy local ingredients available at the Public Market.
