Satellite Services

For more information contact Marlene Wilkins at IVS.

Satellite Services from MSU Broadcasting Services use high quality transmission and reception systems for a variety of audio and video applications. All major networks and cable services have used these facilities, and they are regularly used for distribution of WKAR-produced programs to other PBS stations. They are also used to distribute programming through the LearnNet system, a network of satellite receivers covering all Michigan counties, coordinated by MSU's Extension office.

Broadcasting Services provides satellite reception of interactive teleconference programs for campus and off-campus groups and organizations. For these programs, interactive rooms in various campus locations permit viewing on TV sets or large video screens; participants use telephones in the rooms to ask questions or share comments with the teleconference presenters.
