SFGovTV

SFGovTV is the kind of channel you don't watch for entertainment, you watch because you need to know what your city council just voted on. The feed is raw government coverage: board of supervisors meetings, planning commission hearings, and the occasional ceremonial event. There's no anchor, no graphics package, no dramatic music. Just a fixed camera on a dais and people talking policy. That's the point, and the channel knows it. The production is competent but bare-bones, reliable audio, legible name tags on screen, and a switching system that follows the speaker without lag. What you won't get is spin. Unlike cable news, SFGovTV doesn't editorialize between cuts. If you want to watch SFGovTV live, expect long stretches of procedural debate with occasional fireworks during public comment. The recent discussions on housing density and transit funding have been genuinely substantive, worth sitting through the dull parts. For anyone who wants to watch SFGovTV online and track city governance without a filter, this is the real deal. It's Legislative tv United States at its most transparent, and that's exactly what public access should be.
