When you become a member of Community Television of Santa Cruz County you join a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to fostering free speech through television and other electronic media.

Above all else, being a member of CTSCC means supporting the ideals that community access television stands for here in Santa Cruz County. It allows residents to become an active part of the local community, and to see the world from a local perspective.

Membership at any level gives you the opportunity to participate in the governance of the station (i.e. eligibility to vote for Directors of the Board, and to run for a position on the Board).

Many of our members are active producers who utilize our production resources, but many are not. Membership is open to all residents of Santa Cruz County, regardless of whether you intend to produce programming.

To become a member, just download the membership application by clicking here. Fill out the form, sign it and return it to Community Television with your membership fee. You must be a resident of Santa Cruz County to join.

If you intend to take classes and use Community Television equipment and facilities to produce programming, you need to attend a one hour Orientation. At the orientation you will learn about classes and how to take advantage of the production resources we provide. A short tour of the facility is included. Orientation is not required for members who do not intend to produce programs using our equipment.

All members will receive Community Television’s quarterly newsletters and annual report.
