What is FairTV?
Imagine if the history of television was rewritten. What there was a timeline where television was only used to broadcast beauty, art, music and transcendent, unifying experiences?
This is the story FairTV exists in. And on a practical level, it connects you back to memories of being at OCF, and attempts to show a sliver of what Fair is about to folks who haven’t been yet.
These days, we’re just getting up and running with FairTV. It’s a small group of volunteers who make up OCF Video Crew that run it. And we’re looking for new material to air all of the time. We can’t play everything that’s submitted, but always feel free to submit content to us at [email protected] and a crew member will let you know if we have any questions.
Currently FairTV is on shuffle, playing videos from the OCF Archives, including:
Music Performances
Interviews and Documentaries
OCF ambience walking the paths
Music jams
Art presentations
Livestreaming of stages during Fair weekend* *Dependent on accessibility to wired internet connections throughout the fair.
What’s on it when?
Year round, FairTV plays videos from the archives on random shuffle
During Fair it switches over to livestreams from different stages during OCF, starting with Main Stage and others to be added soon.
Stage performances during Fair can be re-broadcast later in the evening or the next day so folks who heard about an amazing show can check out a high quality recording of the livestream (with artist permission)
How to get to it:
FairTV is a livestream 27/4 broadcast that can be accessed via web browser or directly on YouTube.

What they’re saying:
People have said they put on FairTV in the weeks approaching OCF to get into the vibe!
Others have been enjoying the documentary interviews of Fair elders talking about the history of OCF and personal experiences at Fair.
Since everything is currently on shuffle, it’s a bit of a synchronicity generator. Tune in often and see what you stumble upon!
FairTV is a volunteer-run service of OCF Video Crew. Enjoy!
