Lights, Camera, Action: Clark Students Launch Sports TV Show

ATLANTA, GA – Move over, Stephen A. Smith, students at Clark Atlanta University have launched their very own sports TV show.

Dubbed “The Sideline,” the CAU-TV-produced show debuted Monday and will air on Comcast channel 23 three times a week -- Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will also be shown three times a day, starting at 12:30 p.m.

The show was created by CAU senior Justin Parham, who is a mass media arts major, according to a news release from Clark Atlanta.

Parham said that the purpose of the show is to give Clark Atlanta students real-world experience in front of and behind the camera.

“My goal in creating ‘The Sideline’ was to fill a void in the AUC,” Parham said. “The show highlights the accomplishments of AUC student-athletes, not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom. It also gives CAU mass media arts students practical experience as reporters, anchors and camera operators.”

“The Sideline” will hold a casting call for on-air talent on Jan. 23, 2017. The show is also looking for several production positions. If interested, email thesidelineauc@gmail.com.
