Ram-TV station managers say they will be introducing new shows this semester
The signs, videos, and voices of the 2008-2009 RAM-TV shows are still being broadcast in 2010.
Throughout any given day, RAM-TV audiences may view, and sometimes hear, an interview by former students, a faculty meeting, or a "Happy Holidays" sign.
However, that is supposed to be changed this semester.
"We spent the entire fall 09 semester recording shows, and we will begin airing them within the next week," said Zach Yelder, one of the three operating managers of RAM-TV.
Yelder is a junior mass communications major from Puerto Rico.
"We didn't want to air mediocre shows [in fall 2009]," Yelder said.
For more than a year RAM-TV has been without a technician.
Jurrel Davis, a senior mass communications major from Winston-Salem and a RAM-TV station manager said they could not air shows without the help of the former technician, Baxter Griffin who is now a Technology Support Analyst/Multi-Media Specialist.
"In order to air shows, we needed the pass code for the program dock," Yelder said.
Griffin was the only person who knew the pass code and could access the system. Yelder said that Griffin has taught them how to use the system and they have multiple shows coming. When shows are uploaded into the program dock they are streamed on every campus TV on Channel 21.
"We have several documentaries and short films," Davis said. Yelder said that along with documentaries, RAM-TV will be airing shows like "How ya Livin'," "Face to Face," "Shout Out," homecoming events, and more.
Davis said Yelder covered a majority of the homecoming events. "How ya Livin" is a spin-off of MTV Cribs. The show will feature all off-campus students.
Yelder said they have a week's worth of material to air and that he and Davis have made it a priority to recruit freshmen and sophomores.
"The younger group has been very consistent," Yelder said.
"Getting students to be consistent is one of our biggest problems… A lot of times students procrastinate and disappear."
Yelder said RAM-TV has a goal of adding one new person to the staff a week.
Along with Davis and Yelder, Dee Young is the third station manager. Young is a senior mass communications major from Jacksonville, N.C.
Yelder said the three managers teach the younger staff editing, camera techniques and production.
Doug Osman, assistant professor in the mass communications department, serves as the RAM-TV adviser. Both Yelder and Davis said Osman does not help with production but gives advice and support.
