MHTV schedule includes news, game shows and sports
Couch potatoes have one more reason to stay in front of the television this semester.
Students can catch the latest campus news, men’s basketball games and laugh at fellow students on television on a weekly basis this semester.
Moore Hall Television students promoted the spring semester TV show lineup Monday afternoon by giving away prizes in Moore Hall.
“If students give us a chance, then they will like what they see,” said Jason Dizik, West Bloomfield sophomore.
Dizik and other MHTV members asked students to draw from a box for the chance to win a free MHTV T-shirt. MHTV buttons and stickers also were given out, as well as gift certificates to area restaurants.
The spring lineup begins with “Central View” at 6 p.m., “MHTV Sports” at 6:30 p.m., “Little Bird” at 8 p.m. and “A-OK” at 8:30 p.m.
The first episode of each show will run for two weeks, with five total episodes aired.
Ken Ochalek, Romeo graduate student and co-executive producer for “Central View,” said the show is a weekly news-magazine show based on things happening in and around Mount Pleasant.
“We do this because we enjoy it, but we want others to enjoy it too,” he said.
Two new shows in the lineup include a “super-natural, drama-type” show called “Little Bird,” and a sketch comedy called “A-OK,” Dizik said, adding he thinks “A-OK” will be a favorite of students.
“I really think students will enjoy this show, but all the shows are good,” he said.
Dizik also is a producer for “MHTV Sports,” which lasts 90 minutes and televises Central Michigan University’s men’s basketball games.
“Students can take pride in the high quality of work we do,” he said. “We do just as hard of work as the basketball team, but we’re not as prominent.”
MHTV airs between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On campus, MHTV is on channel 34 and off campus it is channel 23.
