Thank You, Santa Barbara! 🎉

What an incredible night! TV Santa Barbara’s 50th Anniversary Celebration was a huge success — and it’s all thanks to this amazing community.

The energy, creativity, and connection we felt remind us why TVSB exists — to elevate local voices, share untold stories, and strengthen our community through media.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this milestone moment. PC: Maxx Hennard

Community media centers like TV Santa Barbara are one of the last truly public platforms for free expression, local storytelling, and media equity. TVSB empower everyday people—youth, seniors, nonprofits, and unite all voices—with the tools, training, and airtime to share their stories and strengthen our amazing Santa Barbara community. Your support ensures that authentic, local content continues to thrive! In a media landscape that too often overlooks local voices, TVSB ensures that they are not only heard but celebrated. www.tvsantabarbara.org
