Updating Equipment
Update the TV equipment on campus so as to provide better learning for students and also make a better product to put on air.
Turn Southern TV station into a business.
Functional Theory: using communication to promote sound reasoning, prevent
errors and build productive relationships among members.
KGCS 22 Station….
Our news station is using equipment that is 20+ years old and rely totally on generous donations for any new equipment and software.
What is the problem?...
The communications department is a publicly funded FCC licensed station that has no cable access. AND we must serve our community
interests.
… We cannot make money off of our stations through commercials and because of that we
cannot be financed properly to get new equipment.
Interviews
Why is this so important?...
It limits our competition to other schools in the area
Students are talented with creative ideas but are
unable to put them into production.
We are missing an opportunity to collaborate with other majors at southern and making money off of a better project
