Radio, Television and Film: About Us

We are a creatively competitive and hands-on department that prepares students for exciting careers in radio, television, and film.


RTVF History

For decades, the RTVF program has produced countless productions and told hundreds of important stories. Our radio station, 90.5 KSJS, has been serving the department, SJSU campus, and the community since 1963. We produced our first television programs for local broadcast over 60 years ago. And our film program has been going strong for decades, exemplified by award-winning films produced by Spartan Film Studios.
