| Whereas | The UT Arlington television channel is currently used to broadcast Student Congress meetings and UT Arlington news; and |
| Whereas | The rest of this channel is occupied primarily by text based announcements and "dead air"; and |
| Whereas | This channel could be better utilized as a type of public access channel available to UT Arlington students as a means to broadcast shows of their own creation provided standard FCC regulations are followed; and |
| Whereas | More campus events, such as athletic events, could be televised through this channel and, in the future, possibly even moderated debates for SGO at-large election candidates could be broadcasted; and |
| Whereas | Increased student involvement would lead to an increase in viewership, which could be capitalized on in the future to aid in developing a greater student community. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Students be given greater involvement in the programming of the UT Arlington channel, so that it may one day serve as a tool to unite and entertain the on-campus student community. |
