AWARD-WINNING PROGRAM NOW BROADCASTING IN WINCHESTER
Cable Channel 6 Now Features ‘Middle Tennessee Record’ Show Each Month

(MURFREESBORO, Tenn.)—“Middle Tennessee Record” (MTR), an award-winning, half-hour program produced by the Office of News and Public Affairs at MTSU, will be broadcast on Winchester's FCHS/EGTV "RebelVision" at 7 p.m. Nov. 13-14 and Nov. 17 and at 7 p.m. Dec. 17-18 and Dec. 22.
The video magazine-formatted program’s November edition will feature
stories about music’s healing power for some who’ve been devastated by Hurricane Katrina, as well as Pop Geers, “who’s probably the most famous Tennessee sports figure you’ve never heard of,” said John Lynch, MTR’s producer and creator.
In addition to its regular program segments, including the A-List, which will feature a standout MTSU athlete this month, the November MTR program also will include news of how Jewish and Muslim students break bread together to mark the convergence of two religious holidays; discuss November’s designation as National Epilepsy Awareness Month and offer tips on recognizing the condition; mark the passing of a most distinguished alumnus and community leader; and check in with local economy experts.
“We work very diligently to bring our views current news about the people, places and faces who make a difference in our community,” Lynch said. “The people of middle Tennessee are people worth knowing, and MTR brings them in focus.”
