University of California Television (known simply as UCTV) is a 24-hour satellite television channel presenting educational and enrichment programming from the campuses, national laboratories, and affiliated institutions of the University of California system. UCTV's non-commercial programming delivers science, health and medicine, public affairs, humanities, and the arts to a general audience, as well as specialized programming for health care professionals and teachers. Programming includes documentaries, lectures, debates, interviews, performances and more.

UCTV was available nationwide on Dish Network (channel 9412) (service terminated by Dish as of March 1, 2012, see "Where to watch" below), as an Educational-access television cable TV channel in California, and C-Band satellite as an MPEG 2 feed. UCTV can also be seen worldwide via live webstream, video-on-demand archives (Flash files), and offers both audio and video podcasts for downloading. UCTV programs are also available on YouTube and iTunesU Beyond Campus.
