ACPS-TV Programming Schedule


Nathan Goldstein, the TV station manager, operates the station out of the studio at T.C. Williams High School and provides training not only to TV teachers, but to all staff interested in utilizing the facilities to produce material for ACPS-TV.

Students use the studio to produce such programming as news magazines, public service announcements, comedies and parodies and the annual Scholarship Fund of Alexandria Telethon, in which students tend every crew position, from producing and directing to running cameras.

Each school is equipped with its own television studio, and teachers are encouraged to produce and send their shows to ACPS-TV to be shown on the channel. In addition to the morning news shows, schools have produced talk shows, student-created variety shows and videos of classroom projects.
