District information moves to one cable channel
The programming on Wichita Public Schools’ three cable channels has moved to one channel, Schoolhouse 20. Cox Communications and the district agreed to the change to help Cox make the best use of their available cable TV programming bandwidth. All local school district TV programs that were on channels 17 and 21 will shift to Schoolhouse 20. The weekly programming schedule can be found at www.usd259.com/news/cable.
Programs on Schoolhouse 20 will remain the same, including School News, High School Games of the Week, Googolplex, Board of Education Meetings and Battle of the Books. Selected programming from Channels 17 and 21 programming will also be found on Schoolhouse 20. Between the Lions airs weekdays except Wednesday at 5:00 pm. Sesame Street airs weekdays at 5:30 pm. Classic Arts Showcase will air on Fridays 5 – 7 a.m. and Sundays at 1 – 5 a.m. Annenberg programming can be viewed online at www.learner.org.
