Description

This article aims to reflect on the student-produced CATV (Community Antenna Television, Cable Television) program "Tama Tankentai (Tama Area Expedition)" and to consider its significance from three perspectives. (1) Why was it possible to continue the program for 15 years? The first reason is that the production system was established. Like a professional TV station, a systematic organization was completed, and program production activities were conducted efficiently. Additionally, the format of the program was clear, and the production schedule was proactive. Furthermore, the students were selected from all faculties of the university, and their motivation was extremely high. (2) Why was the program suspended even though the audience numbers have grown to 2.6 million households? The main reason is the difference between TV and YouTube. Television has a "frame" and a "deadline." However, YouTube does not fill the "frame" because the "scale" of the content is free. Moreover, there is no "deadline" for delivery, and we can upload contents at any time. Due to this ample freedom, we decided to switch the media from CATV to YouTube for distributing contents. (3) What kind of educational effects did the program production activities provide to the students? First, by communicating with people in the local community, students can grow and gain maturity. Second, the cycle of "planning-shooting-editing-outputting"fostered the following abilities: planning, negotiation, communication, sensitivity, expression, cooperation, responsibility, and self-efficacy.
