Happy holidays to you and your family from TUTV! We will be airing special programming to celebrate the holiday season this year.
Christmas-themed episodes from our regular shows including Oven Luv’n and Garden Thyme will begin airing early this week. Then, tune in for our Christmas movie marathon from Dec. 24 – 25, during which we’ll air classics like Scrooge, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and Angel on My Shoulder. The holiday cheer culminates New Year’s Day with a Sherlock Holmes Marathon beginning at 12:30 p.m.
From November 14 to 15, 2014, twelve students in Dr. Edward Trayes’ Photojournalism course stood at the top of the steps that Rocky Balboa made iconic and asked people about their personal underdog stories. They camped out at the Philadelphia Art Museum entrance for 24 hours and asked to those that they encountered: “Describe a time in your life that you overcame adversity.” They filmed and recorded the answers, then compiled them online in an interactive timeline. The video clips on this page are only a fraction of what they gathered.
From their website: “We took 24 hours to dive into the perseverance of the human spirit. It became evident that we all have walls to climb in the journey of life–the most important thing is taking the first step.” Temple students Aaron Windhorst, Robert Kennedy, Joe Schaefer, Yuxuan Jia, Matthew Leister, Brianna Spause, Ian Watson, Kathryn Stellato, Harrison Brink, Maggie Andresen, Ed Newton, Matt McGraw all contributed to the project.
See their website for more information, and view the interactive timeline to hear the stories of all 63 individuals that were interviewed.
The project’s date coincided with the inaugural Rocky Run. Beginning on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and ending at the base of the Philadelphia Art Museum steps, seven thousand people participated in the 5 and 10k race. Many of those participants added their stories to this project.
On a new episode of Bouncing Back, host Lisa Bien speaks to guests Chip and Tyrone, who have achieved success after being incarcerated earlier in their lives.
The guests share their incredible journeys as well as advice and what helped them overcome and prosper despite tremendous adversity.
Watch TUTV Wednesday at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m. to hear these inspiring messages.

What is the impact of political campaign advertising? How do these ads create a narrative for each election cycle? And is such messaging good or bad for society at large?
Media Inside Out takes these questions on in light of the 2014 Mid-term Election. In an new episode, host Sherri Hope Culver looks in-depth at how the media’s involvement affected the election’s outcome.
Culver is joined by Michael Hagen––Temple University Professor of Political Science, founder of the Institute of Public Affairs, and author of The 2000 Presidential Election––and Thomas Fitzgerald, National Politics Writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Together they take a look at recent advertisements from both sides of the 2014 Election for Pennsylvania Governor and analyze the differences and similarities in strategy, message and tone in each. They also talk about the rise of social media as a tool for political messaging; for example how campaign managers can precisely target viewers depending on location and device.

In the last Temple Talk of the Fall semester, the hosts go over Thanksgiving and other upcoming holidays, including what to wear, what to do, and other holiday tips. New movie releases are also covered, and later, Temple Talk leaves the studio to speak to students on campus about their holiday plans and resolutions for next year.
Then, special guest Gary Clark from Temple’s Diamond Marching Band joins the hosts to share some of the pretty amazing experiences he’s had lately. The Marching Band has been on a roll recently, having appeared in the movie Wolf of Wall Street and in Rolling Stone magazine, among other things. Through this exposure, Gary got the chance to appear in the new film adaptation of the musical Annie. Gary walks us through the whole experience and explains what he thinks has allowed the Diamond Marching Band to get so much attention.
Finally, Temple Bhangra performs live on the set. Bhangra means “explosion of joy,” which is evident in the dance moves. It is a form of folk dance that originated in the Punjab region of northern India and is traditional when celebrating the harvest and sometimes marriages.
