BYU-TV to air President Faust's funeral

President Faust's funeral will be held Tuesday at noon. To see it live you can tune in to BYU-TV. And in honor of President Faust, BYU Broadcasting is showing many of his great talks both today and tomorrow.

To see a complete list of the new schedule, which includes rebroadcasts of his funeral, click here. On that list is the last talk he gave in General Conference, entitled, "The Healing Power of Forgiveness." You might remember this talk, where he details the forgiving nature of the Amish people, even after a gunman entered their quiet community and killed 5 young girls and injuring 5 others. BYU-TV will air this talk tonight, Monday, at 7:30.

BYU Broadcasting also put together a one hour show that will premier Tuesday morning at 11:00 called "Remembering President James E. Faust."

The Passing of President James E. Faust

President James E. Faust passed away early this morning. BYU Broadcasting appropriately changed its programming schedule to highlight some of the great addresses that he gave while serving as an Apostle and member of the First Presidency for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you tune in to see a particular program, instead you might see a CES fireside or BYU Devotional that feature a presentation by President Faust.
BYU Broadcasting also is airing short 'In Memoriam' pieces between programming.

BYU Weekly

Of course, BYU Weekly welcomes comments and story ideas.

BYU Sports Network

Because BYU Broadcasting has so many different outlets, programming content that will be distributed by more that one of these outlets can be tricky to brand. For instance, when a BYU Football game is broadcast on BYU-TV and KBYU-Television, what should the in-game promos say? "Coming up on BYU-TV and KBYU." What if the next game won't be on KBYU but will be on BYU-TV? It becomes a mouthful. So BYU Broadcasting created the BYU Sports Network. Now the announcer can simply say, "Next on the BYU Sports Network..." and that translates to any of the BYU Broadcasting channels.

For years, student reporters for the BYU Sports Network have created short pieces that highlight interesting aspects of BYU Sports. These pieces air during halftime of broadcast games, and are usually seen no more than once or twice. Now there is in development a weekly Sports program on BYU-TV. It doesn't yet have a title, and won't be in production for at least a month. This new program, however, will allow these short pieces more airtime and much greater visibility.

Also, posted now on the BYU Broadcasting's Sports website, you can see a small collection of these short pieces produced and reported by Jarom Jordan, and Jason Tang. More will follow in the coming weeks.

Some stories that these student reporters are working on in the meantime include BYU Club Sports and the BYU Women's Football Clinic.
