History

A small group of students from the TV Production Class propose an extra-curricular club to allow them to use the new LTHS video equipment after school. Students make tapes to play on the cable systems trying to win the franchise in the area. Jack Wiesemes agrees to be the sponsor and works with the local villages during the franchise process.

1992

Ten year anniversary is widely celebrated. No one thought it would last ten years!

2005

Making the best decision in entire history of LTTV, they decide to join forces with WLTL for Rock-A-Thon. It is a joyous occasion.
