The following TUTV programs will air weekly on PHL17+ with this schedule subject to change:

What This Agreement Means
This collaboration represents more than distribution. It signals professional trust.
For PHL17 and Nexstar to include student-produced programming on a regional streaming platform speaks volumes about the quality of Temple students’ work. These shows are conceived, produced, and delivered by students operating at professional standards under faculty and industry mentorship.
It also reflects the strength of Temple’s alumni network and industry relationships. Projects like this demonstrate what experiential learning looks like when classroom instruction meets real-world opportunity.
Our students are not simply learning about the industry — they are contributing to it.
TUTV is grateful to the leadership at PHL17 for their belief in our students and for creating a platform that allows emerging media professionals to reach broader audiences.
We look forward to growing this relationship and continuing to elevate student voices.
