About the station
Santa Monica TV is the government and community access cable television operation for the City of Santa Monica, California, a wealthy beachside city on the west side of Los Angeles County known for the Third Street Promenade, the Santa Monica Pier, and a strongly progressive civic culture, providing residents with coverage of city government proceedings and community programming.
The operation provides coverage of Santa Monica City Council meetings, city government programming, and community access content for cable subscribers, making local government accessible to residents of a compact, prosperous city whose 93,000 permanent residents share a community with enormous daytime and tourist populations.
Santa Monica residents rely on city television for the City Council coverage and community programming that keeps this engaged and politically active seaside city - where environmental policy, housing affordability, homelessness, and the management of an enormous visitor economy are the central issues of local governance - connected to its own democratic institutions.
