Studio 96 Policies

Goals

Studio 96 will provide educational video services to the University community. It will give the highest priority to programming that will serve the broadest audience and the academic goals of the faculty and administration. Studio 96 will serve as a hub for campus telecommunications to provide access to programming sources and to broadcast local programs. The studio will provide training in the use of video technologies to the students, faculty, and staff.

Practices

General 

Programs broadcast on the channel 23 and/or 96 will be the responsibility of the University and overseen by the studio director.

To achieve the goals of Studio 96 and to provide equal access, the following standard practices are adopted:

1. Educational programming will take priority in establishing schedules for broadcast on the closed circuit channel (s) during normal class schedules and production of local programs.
2. Classes scheduled in the studio facilities will take precedence in scheduling.
3. Studio equipment will be used only under the supervision of the director and those designated by the director.
4. Studio 96 will not be able to guarantee requests for services that are not received two weeks in advance of specific needs.
5. Studio 96 will make every effort to protect intellectual property rights. It will be the responsibility of those requesting services to secure appropriate rights to programs and content. Appropriate documentation will be required before using copyrighted materials.
6. Direct costs of programming will be considered to be costs for material or labor that result from the production or broadcasting of a specific program. These costs might include, but are not limited to, expenses for the construction of sets, consumable resources of the studio, and labor of production personnel.
7. Programming and content of Channel 96 and Channel 23 will meet obligations or restrictions imposed by statute, contract, and industry standards and practices.
8. The University reserves the right to restrict or refuse service from or access to Studio 96 facilities to any group or individual.

Color studio and on-location television production facilities are available in Studio 96 and from several remote links on campus. Planning and technical assistance are provided by Studio 96 staff. Please make video production requests a minimum of two (2) weeks in advance.

Studio 96 will provide technical and production support, whenever possible, for non-classroom use of the production facilities that supports the mission of the University.
