Student Video Showcase to be featured on AISD-TV Channel 22




AISD Media Productions (AMPS), the department that operates cable channel 22 and aisd.tv, would like to invite all students; faculty and staff to showcase their student produced video works on channel 22.

This is an opportunity to promote and showcase the unique activities and productions in your school by sending us your ready-to-air footage of band concerts, choir concerts, plays, spelling bees, documentaries, screen plays or other noteworthy events and shows.
Depending on the number of entries, Channel 22 will air the showcase during primetime and repeat regularly during the broadcast schedule.  The channel is also streamed on-line at aisd.tv.
