CalTV
CalTV is a student-run online television station at University of California, Berkeley. Since its founding, CalTV has grown into one of the largest student-run media organizations on the west coast. CalTV is a chartered organization of the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC). History 
In the spring of 2005, Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) was able to allocate sufficient seed money to set up an online TV network. Technology 
CalTV uses standards compliant and customized content management system coupled with the YouTube's online video player. CalTV produces video content using a Canon 60D DSLR and Adobe Creative Cloud software running on Apple iMac G5. Content 
Seven different departments make up CalTV: four on-camera and three behind-the-scenes. They include:

Behind-the-Scenes

At first, the station produced a single show focusing exclusively on news events (local, national and international) but produced in a citizen journalism style. The show featured brief backgrounds on stories introduced by CalTV journalists followed by opinion from Berkeley students and professors. With time, CalTV's content expanded into sports, arts and entertainment. "The CalTV Sports Highlight" began in 2006 and included coverage of California football, baseball, and water polo. The semester of Spring 2007, "The CalTV Show", an off-beat news show featuring commentary on student issues, began airing. "The CalTV Show" has been renamed "The CalBear Report." "Back and Forth", included in the CalTV sports programming, resembles ESPN's Pardon the Interruption and features banter on sports related topics. "Sports Shorts" features updates on recent teams in action, as well as interviews with students on Sproul Plaza. "Bear in Mind" covers off-the-field stories on student athletes and teams. CalTV debuted its Entertainment programming in 2010 when the former Music Department officially changed its name to Entertainment. Special events
