“CTVN’s flagship program is Hard Cover: The Voices and Visions of Chicago’s Youth, a TV show produced entirely by youth, for youth.
“More than just a show, Hard Cover is a platform for authentic and articulate youth voices – an opportunity for underrepresented youth to share their compelling stories with an ever-expanding audience of their peers.
“Each year, youth from CTVN’s central site and satellite programs collaboratively produce 24 episodes of Hard Cover with CTVN’s state-of-the-art digital video cameras, cutting-edge editing systems, and professional lighting and audio gear.
“Each Hard Cover episode is then broadcast on cable channel CAN TV 19 in Chicago, on Manhattan Neighborhood Network’s Youth Channel, and on St. Paul Neighborhood Network in the Twin Cities, and on PhillyCam.”

Hard Cover airs twice a week on CAN TV19 on Mondays at 5 p.m. and Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. in Chicago.
