MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU alumnus who will help usher in the SEC Network after producing at ESPN
will be the guest on the next edition of the “MTSU On the Record” radio
program.”
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Lewis Harkness will air
from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, July 21, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, July 27,
on WMOT-FM (89.5 and http://www.wmot.org).
Harkness, a native of Harriman, Tennessee, graduated from
MTSU in 1993 after working at the student television station. He began
interning at WKRN-TV in Nashville, Tennessee, that same year and worked there
for 18 years before becoming a producer of ESPN’s “Sportscenter.”
Beginning in August, Harkness will work for the Southeastern
Conference’s new TV network, which will be located in the headquarters of the
ESPNU network in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“I never really wanted to be in front of the camera,” said
Harkness. “Probably the creative side of me is what drove me to be behind the
scenes.”
