History
Yreka Community Television (YCTV) was created in 1978 by the Yreka City council as an all-volunteer access station. It is presently located at the Yreka city corporate yard. YCTV serves Yreka and Montague, as well as various rural sections of northern Siskiyou County through the cable provider Northland Cable. In 1990, a grant from the McConnell Foundation made continued growth and success possible. Industrial broadcast equipment and cameras, which were then state of the art, brought the station up to basic broadcast standards. Through the years, various donations have expanded the capabilities of YCTV. Computer stations were added, making it possible to broadcast a marquee twenty-four hours a day. In 1997, volunteers and city employees, with generous donations from local groups and businesses, remodeled a portable classroom donated by the local school system. Recently the City of Yreka budgeted the funds to employ YCTV's first full-time Station Manager.
YCTV covers many area school and other youth events, as well as working with law enforcement, 4H and other area groups. The station volunteers are extremely proud of the ever-expanding library of historical programs. They are forever working to capture local history that might otherwise be lost.
