Academic Laboratory
Buckeye TV was originally founded as a student organization at Ohio State, based under the Division of Student Affairs. OSU soon found that operating a fully functional television station as a student organization was not economically viable, and sought out a "home" for the station under the Division of Academic Affairs. An agreement was reached with the Executive Dean of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences, School of Communication, and Department of Theatre to house the station under academic affairs, in the Department of Theatre. The station is set to be an integral part of a proposed interdisciplinary minor in Media Production and Analysis, soon to be offered at the university. The station thus has ceased to function as a student organization and is now a functional academic laboratory, similar in structure and organization to The Lantern, OSU's student newspaper and journalism laboratory.

“The best work of artists in any age is the work of innocence liberated by technical knowledge. The laboratory experiments that led to the theory of pure color equipped the impressionists to paint nature as if it had only just been created.”
