NEW MTSU TV SHOW COMES FROM ‘OUT OF THE BLUE’

MURFREESBORO—Middle Tennessee State University has launched “Out of the Blue,” a new monthly television program that is a joint effort by the Office of News and Public Affairs, Department of Audio/Visual Services and the College of Mass Communication. It replaces “MT Record,” the long-running TV-magazine program
The November program, the first installment of “Out of the Blue,” airs locally on cable Channel 9 Monday through Sunday at 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. It also airs on NewsChannel5Plus (Comcast 250) on Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
“It’s an exciting collaboration on campus that is a work in progress,” says Tom Tozer, director of News and Public Affairs. “We’re still experimenting with format and content, but we are committed to showcasing all the good things and great people at MTSU. We’re proud of our program debut.”
The November program includes a tribute to Dot Harrison, longtime public relations director at MTSU, who passed away on Sept. 8 of this year; a look back at an earlier MTSU with Dr. Reuben Kyle, professor emeritus of economics; advice to college students from nationally known economist Dr. Donald Ratajczak— and MTSU senior Nicki Decroce shares several offbeat ways to use a pumpkin.
