Channel 10

Channel 10 is FPA's flagship channel which airs local programming indicative of the diverse life-styles and interests of the Washington Metropolitan area. Channel 10 airs various local programs 24 hours a day, programming produced by and for the people of our region.

 

Many Channel 10 programs are produced here in the FPA facilities. Others are shot on location, produced at other access stations, or produced by individuals using their own equipment. FPA’s flagship channel serves as an outlet for the public to not only Fairfax County, but other counties in the region as well. We are putting Fairfax on the map!
