Get Ready: TV Santa Barbara’s Online Auction Returns This May
TV Santa Barbara’s annual online auction is back this May—and it’s shaping up to be one of our most exciting community events yet.
Each year, the auction brings together an incredible collection of items and experiences generously donated by local businesses, artists, and supporters. From dining and travel to art, services, and unique media opportunities, there’s something for everyone—all in support of community television.
More Than an Auction
What makes the TVSB Online Auction special isn’t just the items—it’s the impact.
Every bid and every donation helps sustain a platform where local voices can be seen and heard. It supports the production of community-driven content, educational programming, and access to professional media tools for creators across Santa Barbara.
In a media landscape often driven by algorithms and advertising, TVSB remains committed to something different: storytelling that informs, connects, and reflects the real spirit of our community.

This year’s auction will feature a wide range of exciting offerings, including:
- Local dining experiences and gift certificates
