Prepping for the 2009-2010 School Year

We are getting ready for our first game of the 2009-2010 NPTV sports coverage season with the NP Knights taking on Liberty at Crawford Stadium.   This week's game is gaining media coverage like the Superbowl.  RCN cable will also be on hand to televise the game via PCN-TV across the state.  North Penn's own Kyle Berger will be doing the play-by-play for WNPV-1440 am Inforadio and NPTV will be featured on 6abc.com as the game of the week.  All three will be live Friday night.  You can also view our coverage on Saturday either on NPTV (28 Comcast--29 Verizon) or Channel 246 ABC.

Press Conference

Today Team DUI Task Force held a press conference at the high school today announcing their increase in DUI patrols and checkpoints during the Labor Day holiday as part of the national crackdown on DUI. Many local stations, including ourselves, attended and covered the press conference. Check it out HERE.
We also have new videos up on our Featured Videos section, so be sure to check them out NOW!

Changes and Preparations

Look for our new videos in our Featured Videos section! Or you can check them out on PegCentral (which you can navigate to from our Videos page)

Also, We have switched out blog from our iWeb blogging system onto blogger. We did this for multiple reasons, it would allow us to blog from multiple locations (even during a production!), it is much easier to use and updates it's feeds faster, and will allow you (our adoring readers and fans) to post comments! It'll be a faster, more efficient way for us to know what you think of us and what we are doing, as we are doing it!

We transfered the last 5 blogs from our iWeb onto blogger to ease the transition, but if you wish to look back at the older blogs, you can do so by going HERE. It is the archive for the last blog, but sadly as time goes on this link may no longer work as we change things and eventually drop the old blogs.

We wanted to inform you of the change, so as you can become even more involved in NPTV as a viewer.

Keep Up To Date

With the new school year approaching you’ll want to make sure you stay up to date. That’s what we can offer you, we are the fastest source for videos presenting information about the district. So be sure to constantly be checking in with us here or on our channels!

The H1N1 video is complete and will be available for viewing shortly, as well as an overview of the Golf Outing that took place yesterday.

Keep a look out for more soon!

Production Begins!

Though the school year doesn’t start for another week, and it’s not another two weeks until the students arrive, the work for us is beginning to pick up as we move into full time production mode. Even though we still had plenty to do over the summer, the regular year of production begins now!

We are working on our H1N1 prevention video, an overview of the 2009 Golf Outing (which took place today), and am working on keeping up to date information of the Negotiations posted for you. On top of that, we are preparing for our first football game (next Friday, September 4th). And with all of that, we are preparing for our new crew to come in and and returning crew to begin working, including career study.

Our plate isn’t even full yet, but we look forward to the coming year and the opportunities it offers.

Also be sure to check out our new featured video of the week on our main page, our new poll, and be sure to follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/nptv for the latest updates and to get updates during our productions.

While looking through our archives, we came across some photos from when we held the 50th Anniversary of NPHS. So we added them into our albums showing our crew hard at work that day! Check it out HERE.

Keep coming back for more!

H1N1 Prevention

We are working on a H1N1 Health Prevention video! Teaching parents and students how to help prevent the spread of germs and to notice any warning signs of illness!

It’s all part of the District’s plan for helping students lead a healthier life style and making our school’s a safe place for learning!

Be on the look out for some more fun student sections of our site as the school year gets closer!

Take A Walk With Us

We finally have a tour for you to see our facilities. Though it’s not what we originally intended, it will have to do for now. It’s a picture tour of NPTV, HERE, that will show you the facilities here at the High School.

Eventually, we will update it with a video tour, but have found the work of getting ready for the new school year a bit more hectic than originally anticipated. Not a problem though, we live for this work and though it’s put on the back burner for now, we will get around to bringing you a video tour.

The tour also does not include a tour of the production truck, but you can see some of it, HERE, in our album section.

There are also photos from the Workshop yesterday, to let you see a little of what we did. Check them out, HERE.

The new schedule is posted, so be sure to check out our awesome programming!

We love to hear your thoughts and comments on our programming and our site, so please feel free to e-mail us anytime at nptv@npenn.org to tell us what you think!

More on the way soon. Keep checking back to see what’s new!

Workshop Worked Out

The workshop that we held today was a complete success, with some upcoming and returning students of the high school attending. We were able to give them a tour of our facilities, a rundown of how things work at NPTV, a look out our production truck, and even had a chance to run through a set-up of our news program.

Everyone had the chance to run one of the floor cameras, floor direct, and anchor!

It was a fun time that hopefully encouraged these students to participate in our program and even spread the word of what we do!
