The Cable TV Commission operates ERCN Channel 12, a community access television station, which is on the air seven days a week. ERCN TV12 broadcasts programs of interest to the community in order to provide relevant local information as well as an historic record of the people and events in the Village. This service is funded through the franchise fees, collected from Time Warner which is used to operate the station as well as bring in money for the village general funds. This station costs the village of East Rochester zero tax dollars to operate.
