Message from the Executive Director

  freedom of Expression
  Since 1974, TV Santa Barbara has been the one place where every
  member of our community can make themselves seen and heard.
  Today, TV Santa Barbara continues to share diverse community
  stories through uninterrupted non-commercial programming.
  Non-Profit Amplification
  In response to the impacts of COVID-19, tvsb shifted production
  efforts and provided free video services to a wide variety of non-
  profit organizations in need. 805 Inspires! was created to support
  cultural institutions in the County. Our streaming services were
  used to help keep lectures, civic forums and the arts alive in
  Santa Barbara.
  Empowering the Next Generation
  One of our most important endeavors is to provide tools and
  training for the youth in our community. TV Santa Barbara hosts
  media literacy programs which ensure that kids of all ages and
  backgrounds have the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, develop,
  produce, and interpret media in the digital age.
