External Site: University of California Television (UCTV)[info]
UCTV provides documentaries, faculty lectures and performances from the ten UC campuses: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. The material is also available on TV on satellite and cable in California. Its archive of video material can be viewed with RealPlayer and is organised under a series of categories (Agriculture, Arts & Music, Health & Medicine, Humanities, Public Affairs and Science). The programmes last from 30 to 90 minutes and the quality of the encoding is unusually high. One can also view UCTV live. The site uses rather too small a font but is otherwise a model of its kind and is highly recommended. Users can now subscribe to audio and video podcasts.
