CreaTV San Jose
CreaTV San Jose (abbreviated CRTV) is a nonprofit organization based in San Jose, California, United States, that broadcasts several public-access television channels in San Jose and the surrounding Silicon Valley area. Under federal law, CreaTV receives a share of the gross revenue of local cable franchisees Comcast and AT&T, which amounted to $1.2 million in 2009.[4]
History

CreaTV was founded on June 22, 2008, to take over San Jose community television from Comcast Cable, which for at least 15 years had made their 10th Street studio available for public access. CreaTV went on the air on July 1, 2008, nine days after its founding.[1] CreaTV was originally located at the Davidson Building on West Julian Street. In 2023, CreaTV opened Open San José, an 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) community center on South Second Street, to serve as the organization's offices and that of several other local nonprofit media and art organizations, including Chopsticks Alley Art, Mosaic America, WORKS San José, LEAD Filipino, San José Spotlight, and Northern California Public Media.[5]
