While WUWF, the television station representing the University of West Florida, does get a small amount of funding from state and federal grant money, the bulk of its financing is derived through multi-million dollar funding and with contributions from the local listeners and through funds provided from the University of West Florida. The late Dr. Thomas K Perry help found WUWF in 1981 with the intention of it becoming a way to promote and influence local arts while offering the entertainment value of things such as the Pensacola Jazz Festival, Pensacola Cultural Center, Pensacola Museum of Art, and Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival. Several historic theaters and museums have been renovated through the funds gathered in support of them, making WUWF responsible for bringing in those funds in large amounts. Look for some entertaining programming on WUWF. Up for some pilates? Check out Pilates core training or perhaps the classic arts showcase interests you. Maybe Watchtower productions or Alternate Focus: Universal Jurisdiction will spark your interest or imagination. There is something for everyone on WUWF at any time of day or night which can also be streamed via the internet.

You may not remember hell, you may not even have been born when Marshal McLuhan, a reputable, well-respected scholar, declared television a vast wasteland, bemoaning its hypnotic powers and its capacity for dummying-down important ideas. He was right, of course; he still is. A trip across the three hundred channels is still a lot like a road trip across North America on the I-70: You discover civilization's outposts are far fewer and much further between that you ever imagined, and all the rest is vacancy with road signs. A few of the quirky little roadside attractions are, however, pretty dazzling in their homespun way. For example, try SGTV in Seminole County, Florida. SGTV has just about everything Seminole County except alligator jerky. Naturally, SGTV airs live broadcasts of important government meetings and events, and it features on-demand rebroadcasts of the major policy-making discussions, debates, and votes. Unlike many government stations around the country, though, SGTV offers a full day's programming everyday everything from Jazzercise to environmental tips and tactics. For Seminole County visitors, SGTV offers comprehensive information about local landmarks and attractions, and for everyone in the greater Seminole County area, including its major tourist attractions, SGTV offers comprehensive, detailed weather information. Other channels may frustrate or disappoint, but SGTV is a great little outpost in the vast wasteland.
