MCTV is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating as a PEG (Public, Education and Government) station/media center. There are approximately 2,000 media centers across the country, many are the result of local governments collecting franchise fees from cable companies that operate within their boundaries.

This important telecommunication resource is administered for the public by a non-profit board of directors representing the community and funded in part by a small portion of the cable franchise agreements that cable companies have with the City of Millbrae. The Media Center allows local channels and the public to share resources and provide affordable access to telecast on local cable TV and online for non-local viewers.

MCTV currently owns and operates local channel 27 for the City of Millbrae and provides government channel management and production services to many cities and organizations throughout San Mateo County.
