Broadcasting club reaches out to residents

The Crescenta Valley High School Club Expo took place this week in the quad, giving students an opportunity to promote various clubs with interests raging from politics to the environment. One new organization, CV Broadcasting Club, stood out among the rest.

“It’s like CVTV, except we take the printed material from the Crescenta Valley Sun, script it into a news bulletin, and air it on Channel 15,” explained founder and president Matthew Anderson.

The club serves as an alternative for students who are unable to be a part of CVTV, a cinematography class offered at Crescenta Valley High School that only accepts a limited number of anchors and crew members. The class prepares a daily bulletin that is aired on the televisions around campus. The CV Broadcasting Club goes beyond that by broadcasting a news bulletin that reaches the entire community.

“Students who are excited about broadcasting are able to gain extra experience, for free, while getting community service hours,” explained Diane Brown, the advisor of both the club and CVTV.

At the moment, there are about thirty students who are or will be involved in the club.

“In a way, this is better than CVTV because it reaches beyond the school to the community,” said Nichole Kimbell, vice president of the club.

The students held their first rehearsal filming on Wednesday to become familiar with the production process and the equipment. The first news bulletin will go on air on Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. on Charter Cable channel 15.
