ABOUT US
University of California Television (UCTV) is an educational, non-commercial
channel featuring programming from throughout the University of California,
the nation’s premier research university made up of ten campuses and three
national labs, and other affiliated institutions.
UCTV embraces the core missions of the University of California – teaching,
research, and public service -- through quality, in-depth television that brings to
life the multitude of activities that constitute the life of a research university:
• The excitement of discovering new ideas and knowledge
• Unmediated dialogue on major intellectual and civic issues
• The exploration of scientific concepts and research
• Medical breakthroughs and practical health information
• And the presentation of poetry, art, music, dance and more.
Launched in January 2000 as an academic initiative of the UC Office of the
President, UCTV has since grown into a robust satellite, cable and online
network that transports knowledge far beyond the campus borders and into the
homes and lives of millions of users around the world.
