KCSM-TV

KCSM-TV, virtual channel 60, is an independent, non-commercial television station located in San Mateo, California, USA. Until 2009, KCSM-TV was a PBS member station. Then, it dropped PBS in a cost-cutting move and became an independent public television station (in a similar manner to southern California public TV giant KCET).

Owned by the San Mateo County Community College District with sister radio station KCSM (FM), the station serves the San Francisco Bay Area from studios at the College of San Mateo. KCSM-TV operates 24-hours a day with a focus toward adult education. During weekdays it offers college-level Distance learning telecourses and in prime-time/weekends provides locally-produced and a wide array of syndicated programming. KCSM-TV has retained an affiliation with MHz WorldView for programming feeds on its subchannels.
