TV System
From Staples High Wiki
The TV System is a PHP-based announcement rotation system created by Nathan Faber and other Computer Club members from the class of 2001. It is broadcast to the televisions in Staples, and on Channel 78 when no other programming is scheduled. It was one of the Computer Club projects and is hosted off of Junker. Tom Hessman took over its maintenence and development in 2001 and has made many improvements, including the ability for pages to automatically expire on a specific date. Recently, Justin Sherman has begun to take some responsibility for the TV System and helped to program the new school cancellation system for Channel 78.
