The end is in sight!!!

Only a few more weeks of school and we're done! Woooo hooo!!! I'm sure you're just as excited as we are over here at OTN!

Take a little break from studying and peek a couple new webisodes we just posted in the videos section of our site. They feature Kalabash's performance: "America's Best Dance Crew."

Also, remember, we've got WATCH YOURSELF coming up this thursday! We'll be set up in Schine from 12-2pm (we might extend that out till 4pm...we'll let you know for sure later)!



Oh yeah, and don't miss our comedy show tonight at 8pm, channels 2 and 2.1! If you don't have a tv, remember, it's also streaming!

Peace!

Take a break...

...and peek a new Watch Yourself edit filmed on 4/8! Who knows, you or one of your friends could be somewhere in it!



Also, get your sports fix in tonight by watching 'Cuse Countdown at 10pm on channels 2 and 2.1. Remember, if you're a poor college student and don't have a tv, you can also watch it streaming LIVE on our website!

Remember, next Thursday you'll have another chance to be on camera! Put it on your calendars, and Watch Yourself!

Mid-Week Update!

Hey guys!

Watch Yourself!!!

So it's Wednesday...and no way...tomorrow's Thursday! You know what that means, it's time for WATCH YOURSELF! Remember to look for a girl in an OTN shirt lugging around camera equipment. Got anything to say? We'll put you on camera. Wanna showcase your ability to touch your tongue to your nose? Go for it. We've basically got an "anything goes" type of policy here at OTN (well sorta...so long as there's no nudity or profanity). So bring yourself, bring your friends, and WATCH YOURSELF! Tomorrow, 12-2pm or 4pm...haven't decided yet.

Webisodes!

Oh and we've added some new stuff to the "videos" section of our site. Check out new webisodes on Korean drumming and the Cynthia Tucker lecture! There's also a new episode of 'Cuse Coverage right on the homepage, so peek that too! But then again, how could you not? That Alyssa Henry is such a cutie.

Channels 2, 2.1 & 2.2...and STREAMING!

And we've got you covered all day with quality student programming. Get informed with Connect, the student news magazine show today at 5pm. Or if you're more of a night owl, watch the Mark Zito Show at 9pm...he's our own Howard Stern...just without the hair.

How did 'Cuse manage to pull of 87 degrees?!

It looks like we're back to the work week...what a downer! After those few days of summer, my mind really hasn't registered that i'm supposed to start thinking again. If you're feeling the same way...OTN to the rescue!!!

We've got a ton of programming that'll keep your mind occupied. Go ahead and watch some comedy tonight at 8pm on channels 2 & 2.1. And remember, you don't necessarily have to have a TV; we've got you covered with our live stream. Or, if you're not in the mood for comedy, get your sports fix with Orange Press Pass at 10pm.

You can always see what's on by going to the "Schedule" section of OTN's site.

And if for some crazy reason you aren't too busy watching our quality programming, you might wanna consider getting on camera so you and your friends can WATCH YOURSELF. You'll have the perfect opportunity to show us who you are and what you've got this upcoming Thursday. Look for a girl in an OTN shirt lugging around camera equipment and maybe you'll get the chance to become a little famous! WATCH YOURSELF!

TGISB!

TGISB -- THANK GOD IT'S SPRING BREAK!

I'm sure you are just as stoked as I am now that classes are JUST about over. Spring Break is already here for some of us and for others, only a few short hours away. But hey, Spring Break doesn't just mean not going to school, it means you'll have more time to watch OTN! Okay...so maybe you won't be watching OTN (ch. 2 and 2.1) from dusk til dawn...but hey, you can come pretty close with our LIVE Stream on the site!

Speaking of the website, we have a bunch of new webisodes up (with more coming a little later today)! Take a load off now that midterms are over and laugh it up with our very own improv troupe Zamboni Revolution or our stand-up comedians from Woo Hoo Comedy! Later we should be uploading a Dance Works webisode as well as a couple other things. So keep a lookout for those!

So, long story short: Watch ch. 2 & 2.1 for some quality, student-made shows. And check out our LIVE Stream/Webisodes online! Have an amazing break guys, cause I know I will!

Oh and if you aren't leaving 'cuse, maybe this will cheer you up...just pretend it's you on that beach, living the dream...

Peace!

Indie Flick Files - Looking ahead, a new film!


Hey there, folks! On behalf of the cast and crew of Indie Flick Files, I hope you've been enjoying our most recent Indie Flick, "Aaltra," hailing all the way from Belgium.


I know we're all giddy for Spring break, and the prospect of coming back to Syracuse after our respective vacations often seems a little depressing, because regardless of where you live, it is warmer than here, BUT we do have something that might make that depressed thought a bit more cheery -- a brand new film! "The Bothersome Man" comes to us all the way from Norway and the creative directorial mind of Jens Lien (that's a male name, by the way. And yes, I had to google image the name to figure that out). This film is a perfect way to propel us along our little Euro film trip we've been taking since Norway is just a short drive and a swim north of Belgium, the location of our most recent flick, "Aaltra."


The film chronicles an unfortunate man named Andreas who arrives in a city with absolutely no memory of how he got there. It is a city without children, without smell and without taste. It is a metropolis where no amount of sex can satisfy and no amount of booze can intoxicate. It is a grey, numb, monotone, monochrome existence. It is a film of a million allegories; a true field day for any film analyst.


We hope you can join us on this fantastic journey after break as we attempt to scratch the surface of this dense and compelling conceit.


Safe travels to you all over Spring break and catch you in a week or so!


- Andrew

Just another Thursday at Schine!

Yep, we were there again putting YOU on camera! And it was a good day; got a couple animal noises, some guy freestyling about SU being number one, and a duo singing some angelic verses.

Take a peek at our facebook page (search for "The Orange Television Network") and you'll be able to check out the pictures and videos from Watch Yourself Thursdays at Schine! The pictures taken today will be up late tonight!

And an FYI for all you folks who are wondering why video of you isn't up on facebook yet...well our video uploader isn't working at the moment. But it should be fixed really soon! Don't worry, i'll let you know when something new pops up on our facebook page!

Oh, and if you need a study break from those annoying midterms that are coming up, watch The Mark Zito Show! It's on at 9pm tonight on channels 2 &2.1. Also, don't forget that you can watch us streaming on our site! Check it!
