John Lewis introduces of Speaker

John Lewis introducted our speaker, Derek Marquis, Managing Director of the BYU Broadcasting.  Derek talked about the 9 channels that BYU Broadcasting airs.  And he talked about the recent programming shift at BYU TV from being a Utah, Mormon channel to being a Family Friendly, Traditional Values station.  The slogan changed from Keeping You Connected to See the Good in the World.  This change was made at the request of LDS Church.  Since the change, viewership has increased dramatically from being unmeasurable in the channel ratings to over 2 millions viewers per month.  The channel with increased family friendly, traditional values content earned 16 Emmie awards last year.  BYU TV has not abandoned the BYU, Mormon market, as evidenced by the fact that they carried 154 BYU sporting events last year.  Studio C, a values centered, family friendly comedy program has been particularly successful.  Episodes of which on U-Tube have garnered over 24 million viewer.  They also earned an award for the Best Entertainment Program of the Year by a Vatican Council.
