Journalism students are gaining more experience in broadcast operations through a new agreement between the Mayborn School of Journalism and the city of Denton. The Mayborn School began operating the city’s public access television channel, Denton Community Television, in January.

Nann Goplerud, principal lecturer and interim chair of the Department of News, is the station manager. Students from the news and strategic communications departments will be producing a local newscast, public service announcements and other programming for the station, which operates from a renovated studio in the General Academic Building.

The channel (Charter Cable Channel 25 and Verizon FIOS Channel 39 in Denton County) also continues to provide a voice to Denton residents.
