It’s been a while since we’ve updated the campus about what’s going on in Titan TV, so I wanted to take a minute today to do just that.
On December 1, Steve Lessaris became our new Resource Manager. Steve has been a very active member of the organization this semester and has a very positive energy in taking on his new role in the organization. The Titan TV Resource Manager keeps track of all of our equipment, people, and space, and Steve has some great ideas for how to do all of that.
Another big update is about our studio space. A few years ago, Titan TV was given an open room in the lower level of Gulick Hall to use as a studio. The room was not made to be a TV studio (far from it), but, given the opportunity to incrementally adjust the space to suit our needs, we’ve worked hard these past few years to try to improve the space. It’s not perfect yet, but we’ve gotten a lot of help from Physical Plant and IT this semester, so I wanted to show a couple of before-and-after pictures to show how far we’ve come and thank them for their continued support.

Another update from this semester is that we have a lot of members. On September 17, our email list surpassed fifty people! Those students are involved in many different ways, from filming campus events (like football games and musical performances) to making our news show (Titan News). Their interests range from operating cameras to editing footage, from directing short films to writing scripts. If any of this sounds interesting to you (even if you don’t have any experience), email
titantv@iwu.edu to get involved!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, ideas, suggestions, etc., email them to
titantv@iwu.edu to let us know. We’re here to help!

Titan TV schedule on MyIWU
Have you ever logged in to MyIWU and eagerly navigated to the Students tab to see if there was a new Titan TV blog post? Chances are, well, low.
In conversations with students around campus, it’s pretty obvious that people want to watch Titan TV. For a lot of them, though, it’s difficult to know when to tune in. After all, without easy access to a Titan TV schedule, how would they know when their favorite movies were showing or when to catch Titan News?
So, we listened. By removing the Titan TV blog feed from MyIWU, we would clear up some screen real estate. What better to fill it with than what people want easier access to?
It’s tied in to the same database that drives the main schedule page and the iCalendar versions (channel four, channel five, or both), so it’s just as easy for us to keep it up-to-date as it already was. And if you like one of the other access methods more, you can keep checking the schedule how you have been before.

Hello, all.
Last Thursday, Undercover, the cover song talent show put on by the Office of Student Activities, happened for the fourteenth time on our campus! We were there to film it. It will be playing on Titan TV starting on Tuesday, too (and it should be for a while longer), so check it out. It’s pretty awesome. We also uploaded each song and the results to our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bloomington-IL/Titan-TV/29917599299), so you can see whichever parts you want to see there, too.
As always, let us know what you think. Questions, comments, ideas, suggestions, whatever. Email us at titantv@iwu.edu or call us at 309-556-2639 (or just x2639 on campus).

Have any questions for the incoming President and Vice President of Student Senate? Send them to Titan TV. We are in the process of setting up a video with our new leaders for them to respond to any questions you may have.
In addition to playing them on Titan TV, we are planning to upload the videos to Facebook. If you’d like, we can even send you a link to the video of your question when we post it.
So, send us any and all questions you may have at titantv@iwu.edu.
