Open StudioW Evenings
March 5 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeOPEN studioW is a fresh approach to making WPAA-TV television studio resources available: Just walk in. WPAA-TV and Community Media Center schedules all resource use including studioW at WPAA-TV via this email address reserve@wpaa.tv But spontaneous is now an option.
studioW staff support is available Mon-Tues from 6-8 pm. Longer if needed. Any person eligible for our resources can reserve these evenings.
What is New
In addition to supporting spontaneity, users can arrive at 6 and be LIVE on TV at 7 pm. Our internet simulcast is automatic and Facebook Live is also an option. We will play content from the archives, “How Well Do You Know Us” if there is no fresh content being created in an Open studioW session.
Anyone can drop in and be on TV the same day if there are no prior reservations. However, we remain 1st come, 1st serve. Reserve to plan your use but spontaneity is now an option.
When you arrive you sign in, then determine with staff if studioW is OPEN.
If it is, you then discuss what you would like to do. You may need to create a graphic or load images you have for your plan. You can be a person with an idea, a grievance, a story, or a group of people with talent to share. You can start a conversation in the public interest that could become a regular show. How you use the tools and stage is up to you. That has not changed.
What has changed is that we are investing in staffing at pre-pandemic levels to enable TV to be produced 3 evenings a week. Thursday has a weekly reservation. The ability to be LIVE at 7 requires some coordination between our studio & cablecast functions so please keep that in mind. FB goes LIVE on our WPAATV Page. Like and Follow to maximize your experience. Wednesday will be added if there is community interest.
Join Us in studioW for what you are passionate about.
U are Us.
Hope to see you there!
