CalTV is the premiere source of news, entertainment, and cinematic content for all things UC Berkeley related! We started as a student-run television station in 2005 and have been dedicated to broadcasting the best content that Cal has to deliver ever since. Our four departments: News, Entertainment, Studios, and Marketing aim to give our audience the vital information on relevant topics within the University community and the wider Bay Area. CalTV is also dedicated to providing a space and platform for eager Berkeley students to learn about video production and content creation in an accessible and welcoming environment. We aim to provide free production equipment, key skills and tips, as well as provide essential information about creating content to each member of CalTV. As a group of young, diverse, and passionate content creators, we are always in need of more professional production equipment for our ever-growing membership. Access to high-quality gear allows our club to continue to produce the equally high-quality content that we have been delivering for years.



Our Studios Department New Members Learning Important Film Knowledge Through Bonding Games!

This year, we are taking our production heights to new levels. We are extremely proud of our dedicated team of directors and members who hit the ground running to deliver relevant, informative, entertaining, and cinematic videos this semester. A few of our projects in the works include an exclusive interview with English DJ Fatboy Slim, a CalTV x Air Bears skydiving video (yes, one of our directors jumped out of a plane for this), various news stories about hot-button campus events, three short films of different genres thanks to our Studios Department, and an official brand video to further engage with partners, extending useful and long-lasting industry opportunities to our members. 



We are asking for your help in raising funds to continue providing our members and directors with the opportunity to take their production to new levels that are typically not accessible to the average college student!


Extensive Learning Goes Down at CalTV's Bootcamp for New Recruits!

We plan to use 100% of all funds raised for purchases such as:

  • Gear for our Black Magic Cinema Cameras
  • Interview Microphones for our News Department
  • Support our yearly revived Film Festival; The Oski's*
  • Tripods
  • Batteries
  • Host Alumni Networking Events
And of course, more cameras!

We plan to use funds received throughout the Spring 2025 semester. 


*CalTV’s event of the year, The Oskis, or the Oscars of UC Berkeley, is making a return in Spring 2025. Help us put on the film festival of the year to the local area by donating to our crowdfund!


This year, CalTV received the most applications of any semester, meaning our club has expanded significantly, and we plan on growing more! Due to this large expansion, we are in more need than ever to create the necessary funds to support our new members and keep CalTV an accessible, fun, and welcoming space for aspiring students here at UC Berkeley. 


In order to educate and fulfill the hopes of these students, we again generously ask you for your help in funding these aspirations. We therefore thank you for your support in our pursuit of delivering the best content to Berkeley students and beyond!
