— Dr. Kenneth Wayne Marler, Open Door Church of Knoxville

Readers Theatre

CTV welcomes community groups interested in producing "Reader's Theater" projects to air on the channel in the evenings or during the overnight hours. Reader's Theater projects could be an interesting option of special interest to youth groups, seniors, or other groups that meet on a regular basis for social interaction. Projects could be as simple as one or two people reading a story to several people reading different parts of a play. The production could even include sound effects! Read more

New Calendar Procedure

CTV is pleased to provide the opportunity for local nonprofit organizations to post their announcements on our Community Events Calendar. The calendar airs on the channel between regularly scheduled programs and at other convenient times throughout the day and night - approximately 6–8 hours each day. The online searchable calendar is available to viewers 24 hours a day.

Once you have established a Calendar Account with us, you may submit your announcements online at any time (day or night). After each announcement is approved, it will be posted on our TV channel and at this website almost immediately. Depending on when you submit your announcements, they should be approved and published within 24 hours. Read more

New Set Options

Sorry, flash is not available.

If you produce an in-studio show at CTV, you no longer have to use our studio curtains as the background for you set. Instead, you can create virtually any background you desire using our advanced green screen technology. You don't even have to use our set tables if you would prefer to sit behind a much more elaborate set. Read more

First Friday

CTV regularly holds a "First Friday" event every month in conjunction with the other events that take place in the evening on the first Friday of each month in downtown Knoxville. Our event, which is held from 5 pm until 7 pm, often features video screenings and face-to-face interaction with local artists of all types of media. It always includes a facility tour, studio demonstrations and light refreshments. The event is free and open to the public. Our next First Friday event will be held March 5th. Check back for details.

CTV's February 2010 First Friday event (Feb 5) featured two works by Robert Simpson: (1) "String Theory" - a man falls down a hole and into a trap. Only an obscure manuscript of an abstract mathematical theory and a distant memory of a children's story are his means of escape; and (2) "Twelfth Night" - excerpts from his production of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night".
