They unveiled the new logo for TUTV at today's news conference and honored a couple whose philanthropic work is unparalleled in the region.
"We are so fortunate, the joy is in seeing the results," philanthropist Lucille Rudman said.
The result is the Rudman Media Production Center, the home of Temple's new cable television station, and a learning center for students in all aspects of media production.
"Part of our design was to build a television station that replicated a smaller media market television facility," TUTV general manager Paul Gluck said.
TUTV will also make use of equipment donated by channel 6 including a switcher and cameras.
"They'll work with equipment much like things you would find in a master control room at WPVI-TV or a smaller ABC affiliate anywhere in America," Dean Thomas Jacobson, School of Communications and Theater said.
The center also supports an internship for a student to work with TUTV's general manager:
"My sense is we'd like to give them a holistic view of what it takes to run a television station on a smaller stage," Gluck said.
Tribute was paid to woman and man making it all possible.
"I find unique needs and I take care of them," philanthropist Kal Rudman said.
TUTV is scheduled to begin broadcasting to the Philadelphia area on cable and to the world online this fall.
