REPLAY | ALMS 7A/8A Girls vs Chinook on Feb. 4, 2026
ALTV began as a school club in 1997 under the direction of counselor Andy Bowers. The program aired live announcements every Friday on a closed circuit television system. Other than one 2009 intro, no recordings of the original show are known to exist. The original ALTV program was suspended in 2010 due to equipment failure.
ALTV returned in 2012 in a completely revamped format as a class elective. This version of ALTV began on January 30, 2012 with its premiere on the world wide web. The original class of 30 students had only one camera, tripod, and microphone. Programs were recorded in Mr. Doherty's science classroom. These first season shows were primarily a mixture of school announcements, random interviews, and sketches.
