What C-Net does
Mission
C-Net is organized to maintain and operated, on a not-for-profit basis, a government and education access network to inform the public on subjects useful and beneficial to the community via cable television channels and internet communications, and to do all acts incidental to the operation and development of these services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
C-Net is centre county's government and education access network. It administers two channels, cgtv (channel 7) and cetv (channel 98), along with the website cnet1.org. Our programming ranges from public meetings to high school and psu sports to local festivals and celebrations. A C-Net member agency must sponsor each program that airs on the channels. There are currently 17 members: bellefonte area school district, bellefonte borough, centre area transportation authority, centre county government, centre region council of governments, college township, ferguson township, halfmoon township, harris township, parron township, penn state university, schlow centre region library, state college area school district, state college borough, the centre region parks and recreation authority, state college borough water authority, and the university area joint authority.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $470k to $649k (+38%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
5% of C-NET’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
