The only thing missing is a television station bringing Ursinus themed entertainment to the growing campus. This fall the missing link has been filled.

It was extinct before the 2006-07 academic year was underway. As a new freshman, I wondered what it would be like to have a campus television station at our disposal. I dreamed of bringing it back to Ursinus in the form of a features program. This dream became a reality last spring as I finished up my junior year. I did not want to graduate from Ursinus without being a part of the UCTV generation. I decided to take action and bring UCTV back to life in time for my senior year.
