Welcome to CTV. Cooper City High School

Welcome to CTV's official website, cchsctv.com: your online portal to everything CTV. Class information and full episodes of our weekly show are all available right here. CTV, or Cowboy Television, is an in-house T.V. station run entirely by students under the direction of CTV President, Mitchel Worley, and the help of our advisor, Mr. Alfredo Pichardo. By broadcasting on Channel 21 to 2,500+ students at CCHS we try our hardest to keep the school updated on current news surrounding the school and community.

Although we televise Cooper City High's video Bulletin Board, videos from Broward County Schools, and other special presentations, we are best known for our signature show, CTV News. New episodes of CTV air every Friday on channel 21 at 2:10 PM. Our 20 minute show is packed with interesting news and sports journalism, as well as entertaining sketch comedy. Other than airing to our school every Friday, we host numerous webcasts for school sporting events, including basketball and football. Every year our crew travels to the Student Television Network national competition and we have returned home with numerous awards and recognitions. We work to improve our show and skills every day in order to keep our reputation and title as "The Best Weekly School News Show in the United States." This school year brings many new faces to the CTV crew, and they will work hard to show their talents as filmmakers, actors and journalists to the student body of Cooper City High School and even the nation. Every week we put in all of our efforts to impress our peers and the advisor and we hope you sincerely enjoy the shows.

		*March 30th, 2009* CTV Wins National Competition CTV, attended the Student Television Networks national convention, held this year in Orlando, Florida. After 3 days of competition, CTV placed in many areas, including 1st place in Sweet 16, a collaborative effort of the students. Additionally, the students were victorious in their individual competitions, with 3 additional wins. Sweet 16 is the most anticipated high school news broadcast competition in which students have 16 hours to create a show that corresponds with a given topic. From a handful of options, the CTV crew chose the theme Energy. At seven in the morning on Wednesday they started from scratch and spent the entire day in Orlando producing stories that ranged from an indoor skydiving arena and a womens lacrosse team at Disneys Wide World of Sports. At the awards ceremony on Saturday, the students were commended for their ability to remain on topic in every story throughout the show.All through the convention, the crew split into teams of 2-4 to compete in on-the-spot competitions including Spot Feature, Broadcast Newswriting, Documentary Short, Tell the Story Editing, Live Stand-Up, Music Video, and more. They were victorious in the many of these competitions. CTV also participated in the STN Sports and News Challenges in January in which two teams of four created feature stories for both sports and news topics, the prior being Every Athlete Gives Back and the later being Its Local, Its Global. The sports challenge placed 2nd and the news challenge placed 3rd. Congratulations to all that competed.
		*January 1, 2009* Happy New Year!

		*November 23, 2008* So if you happened to notice, there was no new episode of CTV last Friday.

		*August 22, 2008* So the first week of the '08-'09 school year is through, and so is the year's first episode of CTV. We hope you enjoyed the show, and plan on staying tuned in every Friday at 2:10! However next Friday, you will be able to enjoy a different kind of CTV show, only at a later airtime and in an unusual location- either in Beef O Bradys, or on your computer at 7:00 p.m. The reason? The first Cowboy football game of the year is in Orlando, at Harmony High School, so we wanted to make sure everyone was still able to watch the game. Hope you had a great week back!!!
