What's On Now: GRTV Channel 25
Profile: Byron Strickland
Byron Strickland
Byron Strickland has been producing MSTV on GRTV for 10 years! The weekend of July 25th, 2009 was the 10th anniversary of his filming his first show. It was the Mopars show at the Red Barns in Hickory Corners, Michigan. MSTV began airing regularly in December of 1999 after he had produced three shows. Byron produces a new show every other week. He reports, "It can get frustrating at times but for the most part, it has been fun. If it wasn't fun, I'd have stopped long ago." Editing can be the biggest challenge, he notes. Everything was analog when Byron first became a member of CMC. During his ten years he has had to learn three different editing systems. In addition to his own production, Byron volunteers for many other productions and has been GRTV's Volunteer of the Year three times. You can watch MSTV every Friday at midnight on Channel 25.
Spotlight: GRTV
