Lakeland Public Television Building for the Future
Lakeland Public Television has served the region for over 32 years from the same facility. Over that 32 year time span, the number of channels provided, the amount of local productions, and the size of staff to support these services has increased dramatically. LPTV’s growth in services, combined with television’s digital conversion and digital infrastructure has overloaded LPTV’s inadequate BSU facility in every way possible. In addition to not having enough physical space, inadequate HVAC and AC power issues have plagued LPTV in recent years. In July of 2011 alone, several major HVAC issues shut down critical equipment and took LPTV off the air on several occasions. Shut downs like this could very well take the station off the air indefinitely. It’s time for a new facility that will allow not just continued service the region, but increased service for citizens of northern and central Minnesota!
We are excited to introduce you to the LPTV Building for the Future campaign that will result in an accessible, modern, public media facility to serve you, our public, better than ever before!
For a better idea of why Lakeland Public Television is looking to expand to a building of our own, check out this tour that we have put together showing off our current facilities:
