The Te evi ion Production
Cia of Benton Harbor High
School is divi . on of the
Language Arts Department at
the high school. It sterns from
the original "Radio and Tele
vision" cour that has been
taught at Benton Harbor High
school for approximately six
years. It began as the brain
child of instructor, Bob Cuhran,
who brought an intere and
experti in broadcasting to the
high school as an ademic
subject. With the support of
the Language of Arts Depart
ment the program began to
grow. Th first COUI was
taught from textbook, the
program developed, equipment
wadded and the technic
aspects flowered.
This growth culminated in
the buildin of the current
television udio lab, in which
advanced TV Production u
dents learn the technique of
actual television production
wor on the latest equipment.
The new tudio opened in
January of 1985.
Currently, students are pro
ducing tudent- ritten radio

hi ory of radio, and the "The -
