When a local teacher wanted to give his students hands-on experience in tv production, Placerita Challenge was created. Placerita Challenge, through Kidflix Productions, is a summer video production camp and club from Placerita Junior High School. Teacher Paul Kass and his former students reflect on how the opportunity of working on a production in a fully-operating tv station made a positive impact on their futures.

Open Archive tells the stories of the storytellers who’ve created television shows with SCVTV, going back to the station’s opening in 1995. All of the shows featured in “Open Archive’ originally aired on SCVTV’s cable channels and were produced by local community leaders, educators, artists, storytellers, and students. They’re now considered historic — providing an insight into another time — and highlight the many unique places, topics and people who make up the fabric of our community.
