Pasadena Media is a nonprofit media organization based in Pasadena, California, founded in 1983. It operates as an umbrella and coordinating body for four local access channels—KPAS, Arroyo, KLRN, and PCCTV—and runs a community media training center and television studio. Originally established as the Pasadena Community Access Corporation, it now conducts business under the name Pasadena Media to support public and community access programming. Its primary customers are municipal government, educational institutions, and local communities that rely on access channels to produce and share public service programming. In the media production sector, it functions as a platform that coordinates, facilitates, and assists with content creation across the four channels, aligning public and educational access with community needs. The organization has earned recognition for PEG access, including overall excellence awards from the Alliance for Community Media in 2019 and 2021, and has been noted in coverage of the Western Access Video Excellence Awards.
