Santa Maria Community Television is the community media organization serving Santa Maria, California, a Central Coast city in Santa Barbara County and the commercial hub of the Santa Maria Valley, providing PEG access television for this agricultural and working-class California community.

The organization provides public access cable television for Santa Maria residents, covering city council and government meetings and offering community members the opportunity to produce and broadcast locally focused programming that reflects the predominantly Latino character of this Central Coast agricultural community.

Santa Maria residents - in a city whose economy is built around wine grapes, strawberries, and other agriculture, and whose population is majority Latino - rely on community television for the government coverage and community programming that connects a working-class California city with a strong sense of civic identity to its own governance and the community voices that define life in the Santa Maria Valley.
