Television and More! | | | | | | | |
KTWU has always been known for exceptional programming. What may
be less known, however, are the other services we provide to the public. Our slogan
is designed to be a reflection of our mission statement.
Children's Programming
- In a time when Congress feels the need to mandate that commercial stations air
3 hours of "educational" programming a week, we provide 50 hours of
programming that has won high acclaim from educators, parents and the television
industry.
Instructional Telecourses - These programs provide convenient
distance learning of college-level material. These courses can be taken for credit
through Washburn University.
Outreach - KTWU actively participates in
community outreach efforts. One example of this is local follow-up programs related
to issues raised in the national programming.
Technology - KTWU was one
of the first ten stations to implement closed captioning (cc) for the hearing
impaired. In 1995 we began offering the only Descriptive Video Service (DVS) in
this area. This service makes many of our programs accessible to the blind and
visually impaired using narrated descriptions of the key visual elements without
interfering with the program audio or dialog of a program. We continue to carry
programs in true stereo so that you can get the full impact of music and other
programming.
Internships and Work-Study Opportunities - Students interested
in the field of broadcast television can gain practical experience in our facility.
The KTWU Web Site - Our site provides you with the most up-to-date listings
of our program schedule, detailed information about our local productions, valuable
educational services, as well as information about how you can support the station
and all the services mentioned above.
