A weekly blog
from Tom Reeser, KOCT’s Executive Director
Oceanside Spectrum is one of the only programs on
television that allows local non-profits the opportunity to publicize their
needs, promote their fundraising events and inform the public about the good
work they do in the community.
Local media
is often overshadowed by the thousands of media choices now available to
viewers – hundreds of TV channels and thousands of internet distractions
compete for limited attention spans. But the good work that KOCT performs is
not just in its local focused programs but also in the unique services it
provides.
For example, each year for the past decade, KOCT has been producing two
special High School Edition Oceanside Spectrums with video students from El
Camino and Oceanside High School. These
special programs allow local students to take a crash course in camera
operation, floor directing, hosting and directing – taught by KOCT’s
professional staff. And the public
benefits by watching programs for, by and about our local high schools and
their teachers and events.
Sharon Strong
teaches video production at El Camino High School and Frank Zimmerman for
Oceanside High School. Many of their students
return after graduating to work at KOCT and gain real world experience in the
competitive field of communications.
These shows
are now being edited by the students and will air on KOCT beginning in May.
These programs will also be available for viewing on your iPad, smart phone or
computer as Video On Demand!
So stay
tuned!!
