One of the important roles that KOCT plays in our North County
community is to provide media exposure, real world experience and job opportunities
for young people. There are many young people currently working in the
commercial television and film world who got their start at KOCT.

One of the services we provide for students, our community and
the Oceanside Unified School District is our High School Spectrum series. KOCT
staff work closely with the students at El Camino High and Oceanside High
School to teach them how to use the cameras, switchers, audio and other tools
to produce their own television programs. They provide the hosts and select
their guests—such as the two new Principles for their high school’s. Frank
Zimmerman, who teaches at Oceanside High and Sharon Strong, who teaches at El
Camino High, enjoy the opportunity to have their students experience a
professional television studio and learn the craft from KOCT’s professional
staff. Many times these same students come back as college students or
volunteers and help KOCT in our quest to produce programs for by and about
our north county community.

Our High School Spectrum series is now being edited by the
Oceanside and El Camino High School students and I’ll provide a link to the
show, here in Community Connection when completed. I’m looking forward to
finding out what’s happening at our two local high schools!
