UCTV Receives Creator Gold Award!

UCTV reached a major milestone in January 2022 with its one-millionth YouTube subscriber. Like many YouTube success stories, UCTV's begins in the platform's earliest days. In 2006, UCTV, which is managed by UCSD-TV, partnered with Google to provide 1,000 hours of educational content to what was then called Google Video - all of which migrated to YouTube after it was acquired by Google.
