Mission Statement of the Center for Educational Media The Center for Educational Media serves MTSU, the College of Education faculty and staff and the greater K-12 education community through partnerships and professional development using state of the art HD video production. Our educational media outreach begins with the local community and extends globally via distribution through satellite, cable, print media and the web. Mission Statement of the Education Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee The Education Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee, in partnership with public and private organizations, provides high quality educational and community programming for a diverse population of education professionals, students, and the general public in Rutherford County.

Criterion 1 – Public Good *The channel will serve the citizens of Murfreesboro and the university community with educational, informational, and entertainment programming. The Education Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee continued to serve the

citizens of Murfreesboro and the university community in 2018 by producing unique educational, informational and entertainment programming that enhances K-12 education and teacher professional development, informs the MTSU university community and offers lifelong learning for communities in middle Tennessee; to create and produce high quality video programs of educational merit; and to record outstanding academic events that enhance the University’s mission to educate a diverse student body. By meeting these goals, ERC@MT continues to increase the programming choices available to Rutherford County cable subscribers. Programming includes topics of interest to specific viewers (K-12 teachers and students, MTSU faculty and students, etc.) as well as programs with broad appeal to the Rutherford County community (music concerts, Middle Tennessee history, Tennessee outdoors and wildlife, informative programs about national and world events, etc.).

The Education Resource Channel also seeks to serve the public good by instituting

Closed Captioning on station programming to increase accessibility and has exceeded our target of 40% for 2018 by having 54.17% of our airing shows captioned. ERC achieved this by creating a captioning unit staffed by student workers, and articulating our programming requirements for captioning to our vendors, distributors and partners.

3

Criterion 2 – Signal Quality *The channels will maintain a signal quality comparable to other access channels on the Murfreesboro cable system. The Education Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee strives to maintain the highest

signal quality possible for cable subscribers. New HD Digital satellite receivers now provide access and improved signal quality to the Classic Arts Showcase and NASA TV which provide programming for the station from midnight until 6:00am. The new Satellite equipment was put in service during summer 2016. Upgrades were added to Satellite equipment in fall 2018.

We continue to serve the Murfreesboro and Rutherford County communities, in

addition to Cannon and DeKalb Counties and parts of Rutherford, Wilson, Smith and White Counties through a partnership with DTC Television. A partnership with United Communications allows us to offer programming in Chapel Hill Tennessee and other surrounding communities. We added AT&T U-verse customers in Middle Tennessee to our viewership through a partnership between MTSU and AT&T.

Maintaining and/or improving our signal quality is a high priority for ERC@MT. All of

our equipment has now been upgraded. We regularly review our equipment infrastructure to ensure that we have installed all current updates. Our recently installed fiber transceivers between MTSU’s campus and Comcast’s head end are working at optimal efficiency with the latest technology which provides a clearer, more stable feed. Our fiber equipment now has an HD signal. When Comcast moves us into one of the HD channels, our HD equipment will deliver the highest quality that PEG broadcasting can offer. ERC@MT has also collaborated with MTSU Audio Visual Services to deliver closed captioning on the signal as often as possible.

Criterion 3 – Other Relevant Factors *The channels will adhere to the mission statements of the University, the Center for Educational Media, and the College of Mass Communication with the Department of Electronic Media Communication as a subunit of the College. The Education Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee (ERC@MT) adheres to the

mission statements of both Middle Tennessee State University and the Center for Educational Media in the following ways:

• On a daily basis, ERC@MT expands the reach of the university at the local and

regional levels, and we have developed the capacity to expand university outreach both nationally and globally through our satellite and streaming initiatives.

4

Other Relevant Factors continued;

• ERC@MT supports MTSU’s efforts to generate and disseminate knowledge and innovation through media production and broadcast of high quality educational and community programming, including K-12 professional development and enriching programs for lifelong learners. ERC@MT and CEM also collaborate with the Albert Gore Research Center to preserve videos through maintaining video archives.

What new, if any, non-locally produced programming are being planned for during 2019? We continue to work with the commercial educational video distributors from whom we

licensed programming in 2018. We anticipate that the number of programs we will be able to license in 2019 will continue to be fewer than in 2018 due to budget restrictions. Distributors include: Ambrose Video, Bullfrog Films, Chip Taylor Communications, Connect TelVue, Films Ideas, Green Planet Films, PEG Media, Soundview Media, TDC Entertainment, The Video Project, and Weston Woods.

How many months out of the year is Channel 9 programming locally produced educational content? Locally produced educational programming for K-12 students and faculty, as well as

other programming for Channel 9, are being produced year round. What new locally produced programs or initiatives took place with channel 9 during 2018 and are being planned for 2019 for the Murfreesboro cable subscribers’ benefit? Locally produced programs and initiatives that will be continued in 2019 include:

• Partnering with the Heritage Center of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County in producing programs for teachers to promote using primary sources in the K-12 history classroom

• Working with the MTSU Center for the Study and Treatment of Dyslexia to produce programs to educate both teachers and the general public on topics related to dyslexia

• Producing programs which offer professional development for teachers of English Language Learners in partnership with the ELL Collaborative at MTSU

• Continuing the collaboration with MTSU’s Division of Marketing and Communications to co-produce the monthly show, "Out of the Blue,” which highlights University events that are of interest to the broader community

• Working with colleges and departments at MTSU to produce programming which brings campus events and guest speakers to the ERC viewing audience.

Additional initiatives to be continued in 2019: In alignment with MTSU’s ongoing commitment to improving access for all individuals

under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the ERC has developed a functioning unit to implement closed captioning on the cable channel utilizing student workers and specialized software. This unit enables the station to close caption its own productions and more easily obtain closed caption files from distributors, thus enhancing our service to viewers who would benefit from active accommodation.

The ERC remains committed to better serving Murfreesboro cable subscribers by

providing program information to Comcast for inclusion on their electronic guide. Comcast has been a great help in attempting to provide such service, performing tests and research. Currently technical and logistic challenges are being addressed and we hope to have good news in 2019. Augmenting the initiative is the mtsu.edu/ercmt website which houses a weekly programming guide and a live stream of the channel.

Continued growth of the CEM Professional Development Center has afforded

ERC@MT the opportunity to expand our locally produced, original educational programming. In 2018, CEM/PD hosted nineteen K-12 professional development conferences with almost 2000 Tennessee educators in attendance, much of which was recorded and will be broadcast on ERC@MT in 2019.

. From a technical standpoint, how is the channel monitored and what procedures are in place to respond to technical issues, such as the channel being off the air and in black or frozen for extended periods of time? The station is continuously monitored during business hours by monitors located in

offices of key personnel and on a display in the public lobby area. In addition the Engineering core room houses monitoring for the Comcast return and is checked periodically during the day. The fiber optic send to Comcast is also monitored periodically during the day. Alarms, low quality, or interruptions in the signal, are reported to the ERC Director and the Assistant Engineer. They notify the Chief Engineer and work with Comcast services to rectify the issue.

During evening hours the ERC Director spot checks the station via a home Xfinity

subscription, ROKU express, Apple TV and the internet. In the event of a technical issue a remote desktop link is established to the video server and corrections are made. The server itself is configured to broadcast the “Total Info” service when detecting a lost or corrupted video file. In the event of a power outage the Learning Resources Center building is equipped with emergency generators and the ERC video center in the LRC is equipped with battery backup utilities.

Murfreesboro Cable Commission Public Hearing regarding Middle Tennessee Channel 10 Fall2018/Spring 2019 OVERVIEW MT10 is a student managed and staffed MTSU student organization. It has a faculty advisor, engineering and staff business-management support. This year, MT10 has had a student membership of 40-50 students including students from Media Arts and The School of Journalism and Strategic Media. The station operates with student activity fees funded by the office of Student Organizations. This year, the station has moved its news operation to be supervised by faculty from the School or Journalism. Station monitoring MT10 is regularly monitored by the college engineering staff and is viewable in the “Center for Innovation in Media”, the college’s student multi-media production area, as well via monitors throughout the college. We are pursuing having MT10 viewable in many locations on campus. Hours of new locally produced/non-repeat educational programming was aired during 2018/19 16 hours of live news and 64 hours of new local programming for 2018/2019 academic year. MT10 airs programming year-round but produces new programming during the Fall and Spring semesters, late August through late April. This year we have upgraded our operation so that MT10 produces programming in all three Media Arts production studios as well with the stations’ remote unit. Under new student management this year, MT10 has been working to revamp the channel and bring in new content. MT10 has been in discussions with 3 student-run TV stations in Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Ohio to partner and share programming. CURRENT ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING The Rise: This is a morning multi-segment news show with a Good Morning America feel to it. It has become one of our strongest programs and one of our longest running shows. The show has musical artists come to perform live, presents video packages about what events are happening in their community, and great interviews with local citizens as well as fun interactive pieces that involve pop culture and media. This show airs every other week on Thursday mornings at 9am as a Middle Tennessee morning show. MT @ Night: This is our late-night talk show style show. This show has people write skits and different gags for them to do on set and packaged. The acts they bring in range from musical artists to local comedians and magicians. This show airs every other week on Thursday nights at 8pm. AMP'd: This is our music show for the station. Our producers teamed up with another organization AMP Entertainment, and they bring on a new artist from AMP to interview and spotlight, and that artist has a chance to perform. The result is two-fold because MT10 gets a great new show, and AMP Artists get to have a great in-studio music video. The show also talks about shows going on in the surrounding areas and some national music related news. We have also crossed using the musical acts for some of the multi-camera classes to create even more in-studio music performances. This show airs every other week on Monday nights at 8pm. Health Fit: Each episode of this exercise serieschas a theme to their work outs. The host has guest workout partners, some experts to talk about ways to get in shape, offers healthy recipes to help the viewer even more

with a healthy lifestyle. It shows how the average college student can be healthy, even on a budget. This show airs 3 days a week 3 times each day. It airs Sunday, Monday, and Friday in the morning, afternoon, and night. MT10 News: Even though our newscasts are not a new show, it is very popular in the community. We keep our newscasts local to Rutherford county and surrounding areas. Our newscasts have won countless awards from Associated Press, SEJC, and other organizations. This year, we merged MT10’s news program production more closely with classes and faculty from MTSU’s School of Journalism. This has allowed our news content and production values to improve. We produce 2 live newscasts every week. One on Monday night and one on Thursday night. We go live at 6:30pm and the show re-airs that night at 10pm. The Turn: This is a variety show/late-night improv comedy show, where we turn the tables on hot topics in pop culture. This is the first season of the show and MT10 management is currently screening this show to students to determine the comedy level that really hits home with college students. We are planning to air Season 1 in the fall and continue filming Season 2. SPECIALS 2018 Elections, a four-hour special on the 2018 elections this past year as the final results came in for the state of Tennessee. We collaborated with 30 of journalism students and media students for this event. Panel Discussion Specials Pat Embry, an alumnus of Middle Tennessee State University, asked MT10 to film and package 4 panel discussion videos together. This event he Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's annual training session for The Big Payback, the sixth annual online giving day for nonprofits. We filmed and packaged 2 panel discussions, 1 question and answer segment, and B-roll from the day. We will air this in the fall. Blue Sparks Awards The College of Media and Entertainment annual Blue Spark Awards this past year was broadcast live this year on March 30. This was an award show with submission from high school students from all of Tennessee. The production was produced, created, and directed by MT Medias Arts students. First Look An annual Spring Department of Media Arts showcase of student creative work in film, television, photography and animation. This year will be the first year MT10 has broadcast this celebration of student creative work. Raiders Choice Awards This 90 minute live special is MTSU’s version of the ESPYs where MT athletes and coaches are celebrated and awarded for excellent athletic and academic achievement.

NEW PROGRAM/OPERATION INITIATIVES FOR 2019-2020 We plan to continue with current programming as well to encourage new ideas from student members. New ideas include. MT Sporting Events The Department of Media Arts produced up to 30 live games a year for ESPN+ and ESPN3 including football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, softball and baseball. We plan to offer these ESPN games for air on MT10 on a delayed basis. MT Sports talk/information series The School of Journalism has a new “Sports Media” degree program, and this would help produce a weekly sports talk and information series., Student/Faculty Film, Animation and Photography Showcases A new series of shows will showcase the creative work of students and faculty in MT’s film, photography and animation programs. Current event panel, lectures and debates We plan to continue producing in-studio and on-location town hall-style meetings on current issues of the day. Restructuring We are investigating re-organizing our operation so as to bring various station departments under related, existing curriculum, as we did by bringing newscasts under the guidance of Journalism faculty and classes, and the planned Sports talk show to be produced in tandem with the Sports Media program. We are in discussions to move our social media efforts within the Interactive Media Major and our programming and general management within the “Media Management” faculty and degree program. We appreciate the committee’s confidence and generosity in allowing the Media production students at MTSU to have this invaluable and realistic learning opportunity.
