Three episodes of the "Elite Sports Show" were shot this semester in the program's TV studio. Each show is three to five minutes in length. The shorter format fits nicely into what people look for in online content, Benet said.

Benet sees the program as a template for future short form productions that would continue to benefit students who like McClam-Tamplin are willing to put in the time and effort outside of the classroom to develop their skills.
If a student spends a semester or a year hosting a show, their skills should improve substantially," Benet said. "This is also true for student editors. That student's editing skills will improve substantially also."
Benet said that next school year he wants to give more students the opportunity to pitch to him five-minute show ideas. "The shows that are chosen would then go through development and on to production," he said. And each semester new shows will be developed.
Broadcasting students are exposed to a variety of broadcast journalism and production in their classes. And the Bulldog News Now (BNN) program has become a flagship of the Communications Program. Benet's plan is to continue to create even more hands-on development for our students to help them reach their goals and ambitions after college.
