VTV NEWS

Our campus’ traditional television news outlet, VTV News covers happenings around Vanderbilt’s campus: from H1N1 updates to information on upcoming concerts (Jay-Z ticket sale, anyone?), VTV News has the story. Upcoming features include Homecoming events from Commodore Quake to float building, last weekend’s Girl Talk concert and an update on H1N1 (including when we can expect a vaccine). Episodes are aired live as well as prerecorded, and can be viewed at 9 p.m. on Mondays or around 6:30 p.m. at this Wednesday’s live show.

VU SPORTS WIRED

In its second year of production, VU Sports Wired is our campus’ version of ESPN. The program features wide coverage of Vanderbilt’s most popular sports such as football and basketball as well as limited clips about popular national athletics and lesser-known campus sporting events. Sports Wired anchor David Namm said that the program was instituted with the goal of bringing Vanderbilt sports coverage directly to students through television, and to provide an ESPN-like program for sports fans on our campus. Namm anchors the show with co-host Adam Weinstein, and Sports Wired is first on the lineup for this Wednesday’s live broadcast from The Commons.

VOPRAH

One of VTV’s most exciting new programs, VOprah uses the formats of popular talk shows The View and Oprah to approach issues on Vanderbilt’s campus. As the replacement program for last year’s SexRx, VOprah will cover issues including gender relationships, living on The Commons as a freshman and even pornography, sometimes with a humorous twist (word on the street is that the editors of The Slant might even be making an appearance). Co-host Lakendra Scott also said that the show plans to feature frequent guest appearances, and aims to “spice things up” over on channel 6. Scott is joined by co-host Megan Grisolano, also a veteran VTV member from the cast of SexRx. VOprah airs last on this Wednesday’s lineup, predicted by VTV representatives to air at or around 7:30 p.m.
