What is Glendale TV?
Glendale TV (GTV) is the government access cable channel for the City of Glendale, California.

 

How is GTV funded?
GTV is funded by cable subscribers via a small fee on their monthly bill.

 

What services does GTV provide?
In addition to live coverage of the City Council and nearly all board and commission meetings, GTV covers a variety of City-sponsored events throughout the year and produces a range of original programs designed to better inform and familiarize the community with city departments and the services they provide. We also provide an internal video production service to other city departments by producing training videos, documentation and duplication.

 

How long has GTV been operating?
The City of Glendale began limited live cablecasting of City Council meetings in February 1995. In 1997 we began producing original programming highlighting various city department programs and services. In 1999 we began live cablecasting of all City board and commission meetings.
