Wayne County U and Wayne County Foundation

In celebration of our 20th Anniversary, the staff of WCTV has created special programs throughout the year to celebrate two decades of local programming by and for the citizens of Wayne County. We are using this milestone as a way to remind our viewers what public access television can mean to a community.

One program our staff developed was Wayne County U, a new show designed to support the educational discourse going on in our community at present by allowing content experts airtime to share important educational information. Our initial programs focused on completing the FAFSA and getting involved in the 21st Century Scholars program. This month we are showcasing “Math Fireworks” with Christie Joy, Workforce Development Facilitator for Adult Education; and “Workplace Safety Orientation” with Lisa Dollar of Personnel Management, Inc. We are committed to producing twenty episodes of Wayne County U from August 2008 to May 2009.

We are pleased to announce that Wayne County Foundation has recognized the importance of this project in their most recent grant cycle. We would like to thank Wayne County Foundation for joining us in supporting this educational initiative.

Wayne County U airs on WCTV Channel 20 Fridays at 8 p.m. and midnight, and Saturdays at 4 a.m., 9 a.m., and noon.
