You might have heard the humming around the halls of MTN. You might have heard the questions, sometimes asked or only felt. You might have seen the confused faces of the people who do not know. Perhaps you are one of them, and have the question too. The question to which I am referring is this one: how many camera, edit and/or studio bookings can you have before you must turn in a program? In this column I will examine this question. MTN's checkout and studio access staff will ask you for program information when you want to check out equipment. They might ask you for a title, a description or a completion date. They're not doing this because they are nosy, they're doing it to help you and MTN. MTN's equipment exists to make shows for the MTN channels. MTN staff need to ask this question to make sure that equipment is not suffering wear and tear for projects not meant for public access. I f delays or difficulties are keeping you from finishing you program, tell a staff person and we can note that in our records. If you are working on an extended project that will not be finished for some time, you might want to do a preliminary version of it and turn it in now to appease MTN's requirements, and also to bolster  your own confidence. Please also let us know if you are having troubles producing your program. We are available to assist you with your progress, so that you can grow in your abilities and move on to other projects. Also consider coming to one of our Member’s Screening nights to show off what you are working on, and to ask for feedback. MTN is a TV station, not just an equipment access center. It's up to you to make the programming to show off our community, and up to us to make sure your program gets on cable.
