The Cal Channel, available through cable TV and live streaming over the Internet, generally presents such yawners as the meeting of the Joint Assembly Utilities and Commerce and Natural Resources Committee. It isn't set up for streaming that draws large numbers of people, so would-be Internet viewers have had a frustrating morning. If the state Supreme Court continues to do interesting things like broadcast its hearings, Cal Channel will need a server with more muscle.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Bee is offering the live streaming online. It gets stopped up sometimes, but it's better than going via Cal Channel.
