ExTV: Over the Airwaves and through the Years
ExTV: Over the Airwaves and through the Years
1998: ExTV, originally known as SAIC TV, hit the airwaves (or at least the dorm walls) as a closed-circuit station within SAIC residence halls. It was a joint effort by Student Life and FVNMA instructor Kerry Richardson, setting the stage for a new era of student media.
2005: Student Life handed the reins to IRFM, ushering in a new chapter for ExTV — and setting the groundwork for bigger things to come.
2006: Under the creative leadership of Sasha Dobbs and later Lori Felker, ExTV and Free Radio rebooted with four student leader positions. ExTV also went public (well, sort of) by starting to air programming on CAN TV.
2007: Free Radio threw a one-time music festival, packing the ballroom with live music and setting the bar for future events.
2008: ExTV launched its longest-running campus program, the Undergraduate Film/Video Festival. In 2012, it was rebranded as ExFEST to welcome graduate work and elevate the festival’s profile.
2013: Under Exal Iraheta’s leadership, ExTV and Free Radio got a major glow-up. Exhibition opportunities and student involvement skyrocketed, with student leadership growing from four to nine positions.
2014: ExTV’s CAN TV programming leveled up, increasing from 12 to 26 episodes per year. With the launch of a weekly series, ExTV content officially became an every-week-of-the-year affair.
2015 : From one lonely monitor to three dedicated exhibition screens — plus campus-wide digital signage — ExTV took over the airwaves and the hallways, running student-made programming daily.
2016: ExTV hit play on its first-ever video game gallery, Poly Play (a.k.a. ExArcade), merging art, tech, and gaming into an interactive exhibition.
2025: ExTV gets down and dirty with the first annual Trash Bash — proving that one person’s trash is another artist’s treasure.
