Drexel University television, or DUTV, is staging a number of new events to air this year, along with a daily digest broadcast five times per weekday.
DUTV is an educational cable station that operates under the University as a part of Paul F. Harron Studios. It is currently under the leadership of General Manager Dave Culver and Paul Gluck, Director of the Rudman Institute. It reaches over 400,000 homes in the Philadelphia area on channels 54 or 62, and is available through cable hook-up on channel 33 to 2,865 students who live on Drexel's campus.
"DUTV has a long tradition of community-oriented programming," Gluck said. "First, we have to explain that DUTV is a valuable resource for students, the University and the wider world."
The Drexel Digest, which is hosted, written and produced by Colleen Wolf and Brett Fischer, left the studio for the first time on the day of presidential debate. DUTV is open to new ideas and innovative ways to reach its audience, according to Gluck.
Along with the Drexel Digest, DUTV is also broadcasting events sponsored by the Rudman Institute in partnership with Lebow College. The first event, "The Future of Radio," will air Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. The second event, "Managing Media: A Global Affair," held on Nov. 12, will air Dec. 1 at 8 p.m.
On Nov. 19, DUTV will air a performance by Drexel Comedians at World Café Live at 10 p.m. Admission for the event is free for students.
DUTV will also shoot the Bruiser Flint Coaches show on Nov. 16, which will debut on-air Nov. 24 at 9 a.m., with re-runs at 3:30 p.m., 9 p.m. and biweekly every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
As for broadcasting basketball games, DUTV is working with the athletics department to find something appropriate, according to Gluck.
DUTV is also available online at DUTV.org.
"We post as many programs on the website as possible," Gluck said. "As we grow, we'll be able to add web original material and provide another path of distribution."
DUTV is looking to add short films to its broadcast at the request of the students, according to Gluck.
"If a student wishes to submit a short film, we'll evaluate them," Gluck said. "We're always interested in new content if it meets the standards we're trying to establish."
DUTV is looking at broadcasting town meetings later in the year as suggested by a student, according to Gluck.
To become a member of the crew at DUTV, students can visit their offices on the 4th floor MacAlister Hall.
"It gives me great pleasure to see a great staff at DUTV," Gluck said.
