According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia vol. 10 (Thomson Gale, 2003) it is Claire of Assisi. She was declared the patron saint of television on Feb. 14, 1958. Another source, www.catholic-forum.com, lists her as well as Gabriel the Archaengel and Martin de Porres. Catholic-forum.com reports that when Claire was nearing the end of her life and was too ill to attend Mass, that images of the Mass appeared on the wall of her cell.

The answer you were given before is correct. The more common spelling for her name is Clare, however: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Clare You can buy a small statue of her at archiemcphee.com in her role as television patroness: http://www.mcphee.com/items/11636.html
