Interested students are encouraged to get involved with Cable 19.  Students may visit Cable 19 facilities located at 1208 Andersen Library (by the satellite dishes in the back of Andersen Library).  Students may sign up for a practicum in cable television for 1 credit (Speech 231).  This course is offered every semester.  Students learn the basics of video production and serve as crew members for Cable 19 programming.  There is also an advanced level practicum (Speech 331) where students can earn credit for producing and directing their own program.  Students with and without experience are encouraged to get involved in creating programs for Cable 19.

About Us Print E-mail

Cable 19 showcases student video production work.  This includes live coverage of intercollegiate sports, news, documentaries, public affairs, entertainment, arts, information, and other types of programming.  Students serve on screen as actors, news anchors, reporters, program hosts, announcers and an array of other performance roles.  Off screen students contribute as producers, directors, writers, camera operators, sound mixers, graphic designers, multimedia artists, technical directors and other crew members.  While new students often help to crew productions, more experienced students produce and direct their own programs and serve as Cable 19 staff.

 Experienced students form the Cable 19 management team.  This includes a production director, operation manager, multimedia designer, news director, sports director, promotion director, student technicians and office assistants.  These students provide support for producers and directors and help maintain the operation of the campus television station.

 Faculty and professional staff work closely with students to help foster video production and communication skills.  Cable 19 provides students the opportunity to practice and improve their abilities to communicate with the public in a professional television enviroment.

 Cable 19 programming can be seen in the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Residence Halls on campus and in Whitewater and Palmyra homes that subscribe to cable television.  In addition, as a result of a special programming agreement with Charter Cable Television, live and taped coverage of intercollegiate sports, university arts, and special events programming can be seen in over 100,000 homes through out Southern Wisconsin.

Cable 19 (formally Cable 6) has been in operation since 1980.  Many of the students who contributed to the success of Cable 19 programming have won numerous national and regional awards and now work in media positions throughout the country.  Others have gone on to jobs where they are able  to use the communication, creative, organizational, and management skills that were developed working at the university television station.
