The teacher is wrapping up the lesson, but not fast enough. You’veonly been to one class but you’re already tired of sitting in the same spot foreighty-four minutes. Then suddenly, just when you think the clock couldn’t moveany slower, you hear that familiar jingle. Yes, FHS, it’s DTV. The new year brings a new seasonfor DTV and a whole new ballpark. The programs are different, the staff isdifferent, and the goals are bigger and better than before. Part of the new plan is different anchors on different colored days. Thecast on Red Days in include Becca Flemming and Kevin Snyder as the mainanchors, Mason Fischer and Caitlin Frain running sports, Putri Mesing as theweather girl, and Jordan Cinderich reading the menu. The White Day castincludes Christian Beck and Christian Lematte as main anchors, Mason Fischerand Jesse Sturm on sports, Megan Alicandro as the weather girl, and BrittanyStehle and Julie Scheller reading the menu. The techies behind it all mighthave the hardest job. Ben Caler, Anthony Lang, Jeremy Steder, Matt Hagy,Breanne Prinkey, and Deanna Milkos are the brains behind the beauty that isDTV. Seniors Marques Muron and Meagan Finnerty also contribute by helping writesome of the updates that each anchor reads. The student producer, seniorBrittany Sturm, is the girl to talk to about the goings-on behind the scenes ofDTV. She explained all the improvements to the program this year. First, theyare using a new program that is much more reliable and has decreased thelikelihood of a technical error by a lot. There will be more use of greenscreen and updated visuals. Also connections with teachers, students and theschool’s activities are to be expected and a better trained staff in general.“We are really working hard to meet our deadline,” Sturm tells. Not only do the students takingthe actual class “Music Tech,” have the opportunity to put together the show,but the students participating in Multimedia II also have a hand in whatfootage goes on the big screen. Students taking Multimedia II have assignmentssuch as making sports videos, commercials, and documenting other schoolactivities for coverage on DTV. They will be putting together holiday themedprojects such as last years’ “Where’s Santa.” The main goal for everyone this year,whether it is on-screen or behind-the-scenes, is to learn from and improve theprogram from its debut year, and to have more teachers and students takeadvantage of DTV. Its premier is being held to an unknown date, but studentshave a lot to look forward to. If you are wondering what to expect for ourunique morning announcements this year, take anchor Kevin Snyder’s advice:“expect a lot more professionalism.”
