Between 2000 and 2005, DCTV operated a novel program, ConnecTV, that provided free training in all aspects of the creation of digital media in addition to providing production resources and technical support. Over 20 producers with disabilities participated.

Unfortunately, that same year and into 2006, DCTV was unable to procure funding for the program, especially after its primary source of funding changed its priorities.

Rather than closing down the program completely, DCTV now provides free desking and web support for a core group of volunteers while still offering resources to a flagship activity, disThis, a monthly screening series organized by the Disability Network of New York around films by and about the disabled community.
