By

The
value of research in our lives is unmistakable in such areas as
health, medicine and business. Television viewers in the Wichita
area can see firsthand the gains being made through research.
WSU-TV,
on Cox Cable channel 13, incorporated the ResearchChannel into much
of its daily programming this week. The ResearchChannel replaces
some of the programming currently provided by Bloomberg TV.
The
ResearchChannel was founded by leading research universities with
the goal of communicating research information more widely to the
public. It broadcasts video materials, including symposia, panels
and lectures that engage the public in the conversations, developments,
realities and products of university and corporate research.
ResearchChannel
programming regularly features arts, language and literature; business;
computer science and technology; life and physical sciences; medicine
and health; and social, political economic and cultural science
news. Major research reports and conferences also are aired.
Bloomberg
TV will be available on WSU-TV from 7 a.m. to noon weekdays through
March 1. Cox Digital Cable will continue to provide Bloomberg TV
full time. The ResearchChannel airs on WSU-TV from noon to 5 p.m.
and 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays. Local programming will be broadcast
from 5 to 9 p.m. weekdays.
On
the weekends, the ResearchChannel will broadcast on WSU-TV from
1 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Sunday. Local programming will air from
7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, and ResearchChannel programming will resume
at 9 p.m. Sunday night and continue until 7 a.m. Monday.
