News Central 34 has the largest news coverage area of any regularly scheduled student produced live nightly television news broadcast in the state of Michigan. Because of an agreement with the Mid Michigan Area Cable Consortium, News Central's broadcast is seen in more than 10 municipalities in three counties in mid Michigan.[citation needed]
[edit] History
News Central began broadcasting in October 1978 as a half hour newscast. Twenty years later, the show evolved into an hour-long broadcast. As a part of Central Michigan University's School of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, News Central 34 is one of the only student produced news shows in the nation with an hour-long format airing live four nights a week with a special half-hour edition on Fridays.
