SCAN-TV is now broadcasting all the Girls and Boys Varsity Basketball games at home LIVE. Most of the
games occur on Tuesday and Friday night. See Program Guide for times. Also, it is important to note
that the students at Silverton High School do most of the work in producing these programs live.

Fox/SCAN-TV is slowly but surely getting all its equipment up and running. We now have a video feed to the
Technology Department at the new high school and we can finally see if SCAN is actually running on its designated
channel 15. Most of the new high school is still without live cable and hopefully by the end of this week we
will see programming coming into the classrooms. Currently the Technology Department is running two cable
stations, one is 15 which is open to the public and the other channel is 11which will show exclusively within the
high school. We plan on utilizing the new TV studio to train students in the operations of producing a daily
show that will inform the staff and students of important news pertaining to the school.
We will be using the TV Studio on Sept 22nd to film our first community show. Aaron Cressey has been
producing for the last 9 months a great show called "Live from Silverton". On the show he interviews local citizens
as well as other interesting folk from Porltand and other communities. The programs is then televised on a Salem
TV station as well as on SCAN. Check the program Guide on this webpage for when his show airs.
We continue to actively look for volunteers so if you have some spare time on your hands and would love to
work with multmedia please don't hesitate to give Gary Marshall a call at 503-873-6331.

Thanks to Brett Milliken, SFSD's Network Manager, SCAN-TV is now back on the internet. We are are looking at
returning the programming schedule to the internet as well. Hang on, it soon will be available once again.
Also, we have been experiencing the sound dropping to "slow speed" and we are looking into coming up with a
solution for that as well. Any other problems please let me know, Gary Marshall at gm@silverfalls.k12.or.us.

SCAN-TV is in the process of moving its location to the New High School at Pine Street. While we complete this move
you will not be able to access Channel 15 on the internet. Please be patient, this is a technical issue and should be resolved by the end of June or sooner....we hope. You can, however, continue to get local programming on Channel 15 though WaveBroad Band's cable service.
