Local TV Stations Launch At-Home Learning Initiative
By Tess Farrand, Associate Content Editor
Maryland-area television stations are partnering together during COVID-19 to bring the classroom to students.
“This collaboration illustrates the power of public TV to address an emerging need by providing at-home learning resources that support and strengthen families throughout our region,” said Maryland Public Television CEO and president.
Maryland Public Television, WETA and Howard University Television (WHUT) launched their at-home learning initiative on Monday, April 6,2020
The programming will run until at-home restrictions are lifted for students.
According to Cumberland Times-News, “The broadcast schedule consists of 11 daytime hours of educational programs beginning at 7 a.m. on MPT and continuing throughout the day on all three channels, ending at 6 p.m. on WHUT.”
The trio of television stations breaks down the programming into three categories: Pre-Kindergarten through third grade, fourth through eight grade, and ninth through 12th grade.
