Welcome Friends & Alumni of LTV!

LTV has had many students pass through its doors in our 40 year history. Many of those graduates became successful in the entertainment industry. This page is intended to keep you up to date on Alumni news.

ATTENTION LTV ALUMNI! WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!
As you know this facility has been running since 1970, and during that time our operating budget has shrunk substantially. For example, our budget for 2010/2011 was $9,000. It is quite challenging to run a television studio on such a meagre budget when a replacement light bulb for one of our studio lights can cost $90 for example. As a result, LTV has always relied on the generous support of our friends in industry, both financially and from donations of used equipment. We are anticipating that the mandated switch to High Definition (which will take place in 2011 for most broadcasters) will open up some opportunities for LTV to aquire some of your old standard Definition equipment. We are in desperate need of many items to keep our studio functioning. To see some pictures of our current equipment please CLICK HERE (opens in a new window).

 WHAT WE NEED (UPDATED):

  • Character Generator
  • Vectorscopes
  • Boom or jib arm
  • SD Test Equipment
  • Routing Switcher
  • Steadicam
  • SD Production Monitors
  • SD Studio Cameras
  • Audio Consoles
  • Lighting Dimmer
  • Microphones
  • Lights (Urgent)
  • Used Sets

HOW TO DONATE:
Call the school at 416-396-8000 extension 20058 and ask to speak to Rick Houghton, or click the donate link below and send us a message. We are looking for equipment in good working order complete with manuals and extender cards if possible. We do have an engineer on site who will answer any technical questions you might have and we can issue tax receipts for donated equipment.
