ITV San Diego’s Educational Channel

ITV Channel 16: Quality, Diverse Programming
ITV is like one of those undiscovered gems on the TV. During the day you may catch educational shows aimed at children, but on the weekends and at nights they show Euro News and Planet X TV.
One of their more notable shows is Academic League. The show pits high school academic teams against one-​another and it is intense. Like Jeopardy times 10 with math… like calculus level math. It has been on for years, and if you are into Jeopardy you will love this.
A good new show that they have is Math 2 Success. They teach high school level math geared towards the SAT and CaHSEE (the test now required of all high school students before graduation) tests. They have a little mini show on math applications… I saw the one with a skate-​park designer, which was pretty interesting.
The surf stuff that comes on at night is pretty cool when your in that mood to just kick back and watch surfing videos. The videos that they show are pretty good quality, although I have not seen ‘The Endless Summer’ on.
School and Sports stars is a cool show which features all sorts of high school sports as well as in-​depth interviews with the athletes. I haven’t seen a new episode in a while and I hope that there are more. I watched the CIF Baseball World Series, live on ITV last year. It looked really good, like ESPN, although they didn’t broadcast it this year.
ITV Channel 16 is a great station that seems to do a perfect blend of news, good original educational programming, and surf and sports videos. A real decent undiscovered find if you usually just flip past it.
