3. Do we have to hire expensive Media Professionals to run the channel?

No!  In fact, the system and framework are specifically designed to allow high school and college students take ownership and run it!  Not only will you be functioning with virtually no expense, but providing a vocational skill to your own students.

4. What kind of training and staff is required to operate the channel?

The training is minimal, especially for those schools/districts with existing technical programs.  In addition, we offer on-line and virtual training and tutorials.  As the program expands, we will have regional training and support for more one-on-one service.
