Polish My Show

The SPNN Access department is starting a new segment for All Things Access called Polish My Show. This segment will work with a member on their show. We will evaluate the program, sit down with the producer to find out what they want out of the show, and suggest things that will help improve the quality of the program. We then will implament the changes to see the difference. The entire process will be video taped and then broadcast during All Things Access. If a SPNN producer is interested in having their show polished, they should contact the access department at 651-298-8908 or email us at access at spnn.org.
