The Beat

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Beat is an interview show on PLNU’s Channel 3: Your Channel, which covers a variety of topics that are chosen by Point Loma’s students for Point Loma students.

“We try to choose topics that we think other students will be interested in, and then we take the time to interview the people who are involved with or have great knowledge of the topic.” says Krystel Sayles, Channel 3 Promotions and Marketing Director.

Each semester, the studio cast and crew record several episodes of The Beat. This fall semester we are recording four episodes. The newest episodes are shown on Channel 3, every Thursday at 7:00 pm.

The first episode this semester was about the re-branding of Channel 3, with interviews from the new managerial staff of the television studio on campus. The second episode focuses on Loveworks, with interviews from Jeff Bolster, head of spiritual development, as well as a student who did the Loveworks program this past summer. The third episode focuses on student athletes on our campus and how they balance school, sports, and their social life. The last episode of the semester focuses on pornography, the addiction it causes, a very real topic but one that is not addressed often enough. It will concentrate on who struggles with pornography, why and how they can get through it.
