The primary purpose of the Westfield High School TV Studio is to provide students with an effective curriculum in which they learn and demonstrate technical and creative skills. TV-36 also produces programming for the local access channel, documenting and archiving Westfield culture and history, and provides a means of informing the public of Westfield school and community activities. WHS TV-36 will not broadcast material deemed inappropriate to its school/community mission. This includes, but is not limited to, productions of sexually explicit materials or obscene language, or tapes commercial in nature for a profit-making organization.
