1 <br />t iVie Media Center <br />G <br />Channel 15 is the showplace of all that we do at the North Metro Media Center. For people who <br />utilize our facility, it is where they view the results of their labor. For many people, what they <br />see on the channel shapes their opinion regarding community programming as a whole. <br />Community television will probably never look like broadcast television, but there are some <br />things we can do to ensure a positive viewing experience. Our goal is to significantly improve <br />the presentation of programs on the channel. <br />In May of 2000, a position was created that included program processing and master control as <br />primary responsibilities. This was a significant step, as it gave recognition to the importance of <br />having a staff person dedicated to these tasks, and the impact they have on the look of the <br />channel. <br />We plan to fully implement the following channel improvements by 2001: <br />• Program Transitions <br />Each program submitted for playback must have the length of the program and cue time <br />documented. This information is used by the master control operator when displaying the <br />program on the channel. Unfortunately, producers don't always use exact times. If the improper <br />information is provided, the program doesn't start at the right time or may end early or late. <br />Every new program, submitted for playback, will be checked, by staff, for accuracy. This will <br />ensure programs start and end at the proper time. <br />1 <br />
