Using traditional and new media, university licensee television stations WOSU, WPSU, and WPT serve unique and different markets including urban environments, rural communities and a statewide network.

With a three-year CPB grant-funded initiative entitled University Place, we are working with our universities to develop and deliver university-related programs and learning objects via various platforms, including web, podcast, VOD and television broadcast.

The content focus is PreK-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum, economic and workforce development, community capacity building, environmental and energy concerns, improving public education for our children, and issues of obesity, health and nutrition.

For the benefit our system-wide colleagues, the University Place initiative also involves the development of standards and best practices for rights management, program development, and the sharing of content.
