Where can I see ExTV?
Where can I see ExTV?
Campus Monitors: This is the most direct and immediate way you can get your work out in SAIC. These monitors can be found throughout all SAIC buildings, including the dorms, 24/7. Works must be less than a minute, and silent.
CAN TV/Public Access TV: CAN TV, or Chicago Access Network Television, is a public access network based in the city of Chicago. Reaching outside of SAIC, a number of student works in the form of half-hour weekly episodes will be broadcast on one of their five channels in over a million Chicago homes. We use a mix of videos shown in ExTV screening events, web programs, and monitors, so your work gets more screen time.
On-Campus Screening/Installation Events: During the school year, ExTV hosts various special screening and installation events on campus. Our staff members are constantly dreaming up new ideas, themes, and formats to show off student work.
If you are interested in seeing your work on any of these outlets, submit to ExTV! Fill out our general submission form and select where you want to show your videos.

In Wake I Mason Baugh
