Launched on August 15, 2010, TUTV is a multi-media, university-wide resource housed in Temple’s School of Communications & Theater.
TUTV’s cable channel, and associated new media outlets, are intended to provide a digital showcase for the best work done by temple students, faculty & alumni.
The station will produce original programming with the departments within SCT, plus other Temple schools and colleges.
TUTV will also create content in partnership with regional, cultural organizations, community groups and professional media companies.
TUTV is a 24/7 educational, cable television channel – It is not a public access channel nor is it a public broadcasting station.
The station does not drive curriculum, but will work with instructors on course projects.
The station is a cable only channel, with no broadcast transmitter.
Our station is carried on Comcast channel 50 (city only) and Verizon channel 45 (city only).
Cable carriage beyond Philadelphia, in the10 surrounding counties that comprise the Greater Philadelphia Media Market, has been requested. That proposal is under consideration, right now.
TUTV is located on Main Campus in Annenberg Hall Room 107 at the Kal and Lucille Rudman Media Production Center.
The station operates under a contract with the City of Philadelphia, that allows TUTV to enter into a franchise agreement for cable distribution.
Under that agreement, TUTV is required to meet technical, editorial and community standards commensurate with any broadcast station.
Students in the TUTV Advanced Topics Course (B.T.M.M. 4890) also create content for air.
