Gilroy CMAP TV Channel 17 is a government access television channel owned and operated by the City of Gilroy, California, in the United States . The channel is managed by the Community Media Access Partnership (CMAP), a non-profit organization founded by the Cities of Gilroy, Hollister, and San Juan Bautista, and is headquartered at Gavilan College, 5055 Santa Teresa Boulevard in Gilroy, California . As a dedicated source for online television, Channel 17 was the first PEG access channel in the region and serves as the designated Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) channel for Gilroy, funded by a 3% fee on Charter Communications' gross revenue within the city, which provides approximately $219,000 annually for equipment maintenance and operations .

The programming schedule allows viewers to watch live channel coverage of Gilroy City Council meetings, which air live on the first and third Mondays of the month, and Planning Commission meetings, which air live on the first Thursday of the month . The channel also broadcasts recordings of Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors meetings, pre-recorded Gilroy School Board meetings, and the daily program Fugitive Watch featuring Santa Clara County's most wanted at 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM . The channel serves as a critical emergency information system, providing Gilroy residents with important updates during natural disasters or other emergency conditions . While specific host names for the fugitive watch program are not documented, the channel's content is produced through CMAP, which has trained community members as producers, cast, and crew members since its launch .

For audiences seeking a reliable live stream of Gilroy municipal content, Gilroy CMAP TV Channel 17 is widely available as a free-to-air service via cable television across the city on Charter Communications (now Spectrum) cable systems . The channel is accessible as tv online via CMAP's official website at mycmap.org and through the CMAP mobile application for iOS and Android devices . The channel was part of a $700,000 investment in state-of-the-art equipment by Charter Communications at its launch, and CMAP has since added Channels 18 (GavTV), 19 (Educational), and 20 (Public Access) to serve Gilroy, Hollister, and San Juan Bautista .
