Who knew? The University of California has a television station (UCTV) that began airing in Los Angeles earlier this month for Time Warner Cable subscribers (it was already available on the Dish Network on channel 9412). "The goal is for this local channel to become a home for content produced by Los Angeles' higher education institutions -- both public and private -- as well as from local arts and cultural organizations," a press release states. Making that point, it's about 1 p.m. and a program filmed at UC Santa Barbara called Getting Wize: Making Sense of Web 2.0 is just beginning. They also have logged over 3,200 of their shows on YouTube and stream the channel live on the internet. If your curious, the channel numbers by neighborhood are listed below:
Channel guide
- Channel 25: West Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, Eagle Rock, Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles
- Channel 28: Hollywood/Wilshire, Westchester, South Los Angeles
- Channel 37: West San Fernando Valley
- Channel 97: East San Fernando Valley
- Channel 99: Sylmar, Sunland/Tujunga, Harbor

Does Rick Neuheisel have a sports betting show? WOOP!
Eh, I just dumped cable-TV for free over the air digital HD-TV. No more cable bills for me, no more paying an exorbitant total for box rental, basic cable charge and then extra large fee for the channels I hardly ever watched (CNN, Travel Channel, Bravo, E!, MTV). If the UC really wanted this accessible to everyone, they'd get it broadcast over the air on a digital sub channel, in markets throughout the state.
Too bad the over the air HD signals in LA suck balls. Way overcompressed. You'd be better off using Hulu.
Cable and Satellite services compress the signal, but it's my understanding that when you get it OTA it is uncompressed. Please elaborate on your claim.
Or at least, it is far less compressed OTA than cable or satellite. Either way, I'm not going back to cable!
