Who and What is Merced County News Television

Merced County News Television began on January 1st, 2014 by Matthew and Branislava Gonzales. The goal was simple; deliver more local news and information to the residents of Merced County, California, helping them to understand what our local issues are and highlighting what makes us great! In 2015, Merced County News became a four person partnership between Matthew, Branislava and their two new partners Mario and Diana Perez.

  • Matthew Gonzales is currently a film and TV producer with credits that include S'nitch'd, the 2008 and 2009 Oscars party's at the Beverly Hills Hilton, and numerous concerts including Eddie Money.  He has also produced over 300 TV commercials which have aired on various Comcast cable channels, as well as the major networks. Matthew was a student of both the Los Angeles Recording Workshop and the Los Angeles Film School in 1998. He went on to work with Henry "HenGee" Garcia, Innovative Media, and 25th Precinct Records with Ice T.  Matthew started covering breaking news as a stringer in 2009 for various brokers in the Los Angeles county area before he and his wife moved back to Matthew's hometown of Merced, California in 2010.
  • Branislava Ristic-Gonzales is currently the Director of Human Resources and Operations for a local Merced area company and has been with them for over 4 years. During her spare time she has helped write stories, take photos and help market Merced County News Television to its over 16,000 LIKES on Facebook.
  • Mario Perez has always been a hard worker and has built two of his own successful companies which he still currently owns and runs in Merced, California.
  • Diana Perez was with MCN for over six months as a volunteer writer and photographer before stepping up to the challenges that come with being a partner. Diana is continuing her higher education while not only helping to build MCN TV's english speaking viewer but she has also helped launch our MCN TV News en Espanol. Having run a successful HUD program in Fresno, CA she and her husband moved back to Merced two years ago to start their own businesses as well.

Our Capital Goals and Our Perks!

We need start-up capital and you need some great perks! So here's what we are doing and what you'll get for helping us to get there.

  • We are seeking $10,000 in start-up capital. Of that, $2,500 is going to rebuilding our website into a higher production value content and local news and information website. Our builder/designer will develop and build a mobile app that will integrate seamless into Android and iOS smartphones. Another $4,000 will be invested into two new Mac computers for editing and $3,500 toward insurance and leasing a building.
  • Our Perks include everyone at every funding level. From MCN TV News viewer bumper stickers, MCN viewer polo shirts all the way up to your business's own 30 second fully produced tv commercial.
  • If we are unable to reach our entire goal we will still honor all of our perks first then utilize any remaining capital to help off set the costs of building our website.

Merced Needs News

Merced County, now with well over 280,000 residents needs local news and information.

  • Currently Merced County residents only have a couple of local newspapers which focus mainly on Fresno or Modesto area news. Both of these cities are in different counties and not what Merced County residents want as their primary news.
  • We have built a strong audience of over 16,400 likes on our Facebook and over 35,000 views daily with an age demographic of 24 to 34-year-olds.
  • We hope to open sooner with this capital rather than later but know that for sure Merced County News TV will be on the air and very soon!
