RPI Athletics
Working with the RPI Athletics Department during the fall and winter sports seasons, RPI TV offers free live streaming of most home football, men's hockey, and women's hockey games. Recorded games are also available online for free on-demand viewing.
Every year since 2006, the club has run a crash-course in video production as part of the First-Year Experience program for incoming freshmen. Traditionally, incoming students are given two days to plan, film, and edit their production which will be shown on campus cable and the RPI TV website. Past productions have included The Classroom, Dora the Explorer Live!, and Tentatively Titled MURSE.
Past Productions
RPI PD
RPI PD[1] launched in the Spring of 2011, filling a longstanding gap in the club's creative productions. The show, which was produced twice a month, follows Detective Nick Waters, a fictional law enforcement officer, through his enforcement activities that occur on the RPI campus and neighboring areas.
