cmuTV Budget

FY2010 (July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010)

cmuTV exists to provide both an informational and creative outlet for the campus community and to act as an agent able to provide video services to other groups on the Carnegie Mellon campus. cmuTV is broadcast in SD on campus cable Channel 17 and in HD on campus cable Channel 18 to all dorms and academic buildings on campus. Channel 17 is also mirrored online for the rest of the campus community. Members of cmuTV have the ability to create content of their choosing ranging from comedy and art to news and information. The organization strives to provide coverage of important events on campus, including concerts, sports, speakers, and of course buggy. As a media outlet on campus, we will represent the views and interests of the student body, and will be open to content reflecting and comprised of these views. Channels 17 and 18 can also serve as an outlet for other clubs, student organizations, and academic departments to showcase any performances or projects that they may be exhibiting. Events can be broadcast live or on tape delay. For more information, visit http://www.cmutv.org/.
