Community Channel 28 is a public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable television channel owned and operated by Midpen Media Center, a non-profit community media organization serving the Silicon Valley communities of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, East Palo Alto, Stanford, and other parts of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties in California, United States. Midpen Media Center was founded in 1990 and is headquartered at 900 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto, California. As a dedicated source for online television, Channel 28 focuses specifically on youth, education, and sports programming, covering activities from local school districts and youth organizations across the Midpeninsula region. The channel is one of five cable channels programmed by Midpen Media, alongside Government channels 26 and 29, Community Channel 30 (Arts, Issues & Lifestyles), and Community Channel 75 (Diversity & Culture).
The programming schedule allows viewers to watch live channel coverage of school board meetings from Palo Alto Unified School District, Menlo Park City School District, and other local educational governing bodies, which are a regular feature of the channel’s lineup. The channel also airs coverage of high school sports events, including football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and softball games featuring local high schools such as Palo Alto High School (Vikings), Gunn High School (Titans), Menlo-Atherton High School (Bears), and other schools in the service area. Educational programming on the channel includes student-produced content from the Youth Broadcast Collaborative, which has studios in each public middle and high school in Midpen Media’s service area, allowing students to create their own television programs and news shows under professional guidance. The channel also features coverage of academic competitions, science fairs, robotics tournaments, spelling bees, and other scholastic events. The channel serves as an important platform for showcasing youth achievements, including performing arts events, band concerts, theater productions, dance recitals, and choral performances from local middle and high schools.
Midpen Media Center’s mission is to foster civic engagement, individual expression, and cultural exchange to inspire, inform, and empower people in the larger community. The organization operates five Comcast cable channels as part of the PEG access system, and all channels are live streamed from the Midpen Media Center website. In addition to sports and school content, the channel also broadcasts educational programming for lifelong learners, including workshops, lectures, and instructional content on topics such as science, technology, history, and the arts, produced both by community members and partner organizations. The center indexes and archives local government meetings, including school board meetings, and makes them available by agenda item on the web, partnering with the League of Women Voters to produce election forums on local school board races and ballot measures, which are also indexed and archived for on-demand delivery online. For audiences seeking a reliable live stream of youth, education, and sports content from the Silicon Valley area, Community Channel 28 is accessible as tv online via the official Midpen Media Center website at midpenmedia.org, which provides live streaming of all five channels. The channel ensures that its educational, youth-focused, and athletic programming reaches students, parents, teachers, and interested viewers worldwide through both cable television and online streaming.
