Re: NMU Hockey 2012-2013 Season Thread
There already is something siimilar, called Public Eye News where students get to use the equiment at TV13 to put together an honest to God news show utilizing the Associated Press and CBS News.
An extenstion of that group, or a new dedicated group similar to PEN would be ideal. This eliminates the labor costs DavyD mentioned. Only consts incurred would be new camera equipment that is HD.
WNMU TV13 shied away from airing games because of popular viewer supported programming on Friday and Saturday nights. Issues with transporting their studio camera to the Berry every home series was a big concern, along with staffing.
HD, moreso the availability of subchannels for programming has started to open the door to WNMU warming to airing athletics. In fact, an HD feed of the last NMU football game was rebroadcast on TV13 recently. I don't know if this student group was the reason behind it, but it's a great stepping stone.
One real quick way to get NMU Hockey on TV13? Use your wallet, and pledge to them more if they get Wildcat Sports on the air. It's a viewer driven channel, so we all can dictate the programming.
