An executive staff of students manages CitrusTV, an entirely student-run television studio and registered student organization. While ultimate control and authority rests with the student executive staff, two other individuals also advise the studio.

Professor Michael Schoonmaker (msschoon@syr.edu) is the university adviser. He counsels and advises CitrusTV in the exercise of its responsibilities and assists the station in establishing long-range goals and in planning and initiating short-term projects. He also assists the station in assessing its projects and programs, improving leadership skills within the organization, and ensuring its accountability and integrity.

Emily Nasal (egnasal@syr.edu) is the organizational consultant. She assists in planning events and programs, negotiating contracts, creating publicity and marketing campaigns, and procuring equipment. She also advises CitrusTV as to governing policies and procedures of the university and the Student Association.

The easiest place to watch CitrusTV is on our YouTube channel. You can also see our programs right here on our website.

CitrusTV also supplies a significant amount of content to the Orange Television Network (OTN), channel 24.2 HD in on-campus housing. CitrusTV also supplies sports programming to Time Warner Cable Sports in the Syracuse area.

Students join CitrusTV to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of running a television station. In addition to television production, we also offer our members opportunities with alumni relations, engineering, marketing, promotions, systems administration and web development. We produce a variety of news, sports, and entertainment programming in addition to television commercials.

We're always looking for motivated and dedicated students to join our family at CitrusTV. All undergraduate and graduate students at SU and SUNY-ESF can join CitrusTV, regardless of home college or major. At the beginning of each semester, we hold a General Interest Meeting that you can attend to find out more information. If you missed the General Interest Meeting, you can still join CitrusTV. Contact the appropriate producer or executive staff member.

As a recognized student organization, the Student Association funds CitrusTV through the student activity fee. CitrusTV also receives funding through sponsorships from local business and student organizations and through donations from alumni and parents.

CitrusTV is located in the Robert B. Menschel Media Center at 316 Waverly Ave. within Watson Hall, just down the hallway from Watson Theater. We're on the Waverly Avenue side of Watson Hall across the street from the Kimmel Hall.
