The station also airs several programs of different interests, including sports, lifestyle, politics, and current affairs. Staff-produced shows include ''The Hamilton Network'', which morphed from former daily current affairs program, ''City Matters'' and the lifestyle magazine program ''Hamilton Life'', which aired new episodes twice each week but ended in 2018. In September 2011, Cable 14 increased access to the station for members of the community, allocating the 10pm hour on weekdays and 9am-noon on Saturdays, to community producers for certain topics with ''Access Hamilton.'' Such shows include ''Hamilton Talks'', ''The Opinionators'' and ''The O Show''. At election time Cable 14 provides all-candidate debates for each of the local ridings and wards, as well as full election night coverage with a focus on local races, including Haldimand. A number of local personalities have hosted shows on the channel, including Karen Bertelsen, Doug Farraway and Mike Nabuurs. In 2015, Cable 14 NOW was launched, allowing viewers to watch live and on-demand video content online.
