Wednesday February 2 marks the twentieth anniversary of Jefferson's channels. Jefferson Community Television may be one of the smallest media centers in Wisconsin, but its two channels broadcast a big mix that reflects the "Gemuetlichkeit City:" council meetings, county board meetings (Jefferson is the county seat), three church services, and because Jefferson like music, decades of summer concerts in Rotary Park.
Kevin Kowal, Jefferson Community Television Station Manager
The Jefferson channels have been managed by a number of people over the years, but long-time resident John Foust has always kept a special eye on the channels. Recently, he met Kevin Kowal at an event and as they talked, John realized Kevin would be perfect to manage the station and is now the part-time station manager.
Kevin has been very active over the years in media and communication arts. He graduated from Columbia College, a school in Chicago specializing in video and film studies. He served in the Navy as a radioman for four years. After he left the service he worked as an A/V technician for eleven years and later became a videotape editor for NBC News. In 2008 he built a sound truck for outdoor events and has been recording events ever since. When not working, Kevin is a synth keyboard enthusiast. Kevin is eager to apply his experience in the field to his new position at Jefferson Community Television. “I am a hands-on equipment guy, and I would like to do more to record community events and share them with the public. Now that I am retired, I have time to pursue the opportunities offered by PEG TV in Jefferson.”
