It was almost two years ago that communications stu
dent Chadd Ettline came up with an idea to broadcast
television news at Penn State Harrisburg. “I talked to
the school just to see if we could do it and they would
n’t do it,” said Ettline. “They wouldn’t let us use the tel
evision equipment because they felt with all the usage
that it would get messed up. But then I tried to pull it
into a club and they said it was possible.”
After a year and a half of recruiting members, sub
mitting proposals to the SGA, and hearing from teach
ers that it would never happen, Ettline finally won
approval for a Television Broadcasting Club last spring.
He is now the president of the new club he helped cre
ate. “Having that discouragement [from the teachers]
kind of fed fuel to the fire,” Ettline said.
Now, the first-year club is planning two news broad
casts that will appear on PSH’s closed circuit TV’s this
semester. Ettline said the first broadcast will be “some
thing professional,” and will look similar to a local
news broadcast. Some story ideas will focus on the new
dorms, intramural softball, Penn State football, and the
cafeteria construction. Ettline hopes to complete the
project by early November.
The club wants its second broadcast to be more fun
creative than the first. “It will be more off-the-wall,”
said David “Vid” Lynch, an editor for the club. “We
want it to look like a news program but it will be more
entertaining and comical,” said Lynch. The second
broadcast is scheduled for release by the end of
November or early December.
Lynch described the club’s atmosphere as “professional
yet laid back,” and emphasizes that members do not
have to be in front of the camera. Members can fill a
broad range of roles in anchoring, editing, lighting,
writing scripts, and camera work among other areas. All
students are welcomed to join the club and no prior
broadcasting experience is needed.
The club is highly recommended to communications
majors or anyone looking to work in the fields of tele
vision broadcasting, film, journalism, or photography.
“You’ll learn a lot about the cameras, broadcasting, and
working as a group,” says Lynch. The club also offers
the opportunity to work alongside of Lynch’s produc
tion company “Vid and Sarz Productions,
(ww w. vidandsarz .com)”
The club plans to release a five-minute commercial
aimed at recruiting new members for the semester.
“We’re a little bit behind and we need some members,”
said Ettline. He added that the ad would be both inform
ative and comical in an attempt to gain as many new
members as possible. The commercial should be com
pleted by the end of this week.
“Everyone’s in it to have a good time yet do well for
the college,” said Ettline .“The people can go out and
learn new things and get the hands-on experience.
Knowing that you’re creating this and you’re gonna
actually watch your production, that’s awesome.”
Meetings for the club are usually for a half hour on
Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. in W-344. Anyone who is
interested in joining may call President Chad Ettline at
(717) 755-8998 or e-mail Editor David Lynch at
