The City of Ketchikan operates 12 local public access stations, to include the newest offering of Channel 611. Each station offers a different experience for the viewer. Ranging from live streaming governmental meetings to the airing of previously held meetings, KPU covers the City Council, Borough, School Board, and Planning Commission meetings, to name a few. Other channels offer coverage of special community events and coverage of such things as the Garden Club, Monthly Grind Community Concert, and High School Sports.

Channel 611, affectionately known as the "U" Channel, features a monthly magazine show-Live in Ketchikan- covering people, events, issues, and places in a fun, lively and creative manner. Also, the public can submit self-produced videos of their choice to air on the channel. There is a monthly contest online where the public can vote for their favorite video at www.liveinketchikan.com.
