Video Production and Broadcast Program
With the help of a federal grant and the leadership of video production teacher Kevin Walsh, WBHS was able to construct a studio complete with a green screen along with professional-level lighting and audio equipment, including many editing bays for student use. The new classroom/studio opened in 2002. The expansion of the program continued to accommodate more students offering a Video Journalism class which paved the way for a number of student-created productions, some of which aired on WBTV, channel 19, local channel of the West Bloomfield School District. By 2005 the video department had students actively engaged in event-broadcast style recordings of the school's plays and theater performances (as well as sporting events and others), making the recording available to students and parents on DVD format within days. In 2005, the first live student-produced show aired on WBTV during primetime. The Spectrum Show, produced and hosted by students Eric Maniloff and Matt Moss, aired at 8pm on May 18th, 2005. Also, 2005 marked the first time in school history that the senior class video was duplicated and distributed in digital DVD format.

Famous quotes containing the words video, production, broadcast and/or program:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Listening to a news broadcast is like smoking a cigarette and crushing the butt in the ashtray.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
