MATC TV and Video Production Students Showcase Their Work on Milwaukee PBS 36.1 while the MATC eProduction Students take over the Instagram page!

Tune in May 6 for the annual Student Operations Day when MATC Television and Video Productionstudents share their work with the community. 

Each May the second-year students in the program work together to create a day of special programs for Milwaukee PBS viewers. 

The Live Block is broadcast in real time from the Milwaukee PBS studios and this year's them is Milwaukee Together. 
Other parts of the day will be include originally-produced recorded segments from the students. 

Live block content will air from noon until 4:00 pm and will be divided into four themes relating to culture – food, arts, literature and community. 

Student Ops Day allows the students to get the feel of what it takes to create recorded segments and to be live on the air. They assume all roles for this project for which includes executive producer, producer, editor, videographer, promotions and in studio equipment.

For the first time this year the eProduction students will showcase their on-demand visual media content on both Instagram and YouTube.

This hands-on approach is a critical component to the success of the program. “Students that participate in the Student Operations Day benefit a great deal by gaining experience in live broadcasting as well as having student content aired on Milwaukee PBS,” said Student Operations Day Student Producer Andrew Simon. “This differs a lot from different programs because this allows students the opportunity to air their shows on broadcast TV, and not many college students can say they’ve made a show that has aired on TV.”

Don’t miss this annual experience on May 6 starting at 11 am on Milwaukee PBS 36.1 and check out some of the eProd projects below.
