The premiere season of 1999-2000 established a media and technology studio known as WFHS TV at Fairmont Senior High School with instructor and director Carol J. Amos. Through a generous grant to the Marion County school system, WV legislative funds provided opportunities for students to present daily announcements in a closed circuit broadcast of news, sports, weather, and specials with highlights from location filming of special events. Seneca Communications provided technical advice and installation of digital Panasonic equipment including cameras, video recorders, audio and video mixers, microphones, and intercom system. Rick Amos completed technical design and construction of lighting grids and sets in the summer of 2000. Jeff Creamer has supplied technical assistance and website design and maintenance. Senator Roman W. Prezioso was instrumental in assisting with West Virginia State Funds. Mr. David R. Ice, cabinet secretary of the Department of Education and the Arts, administered the grant request.
