[edit] History
WPTV was started late in the 2005-2006 School year, before which it had very few and infrequent appearances at Ranchview, mostly when the administration needed to show a school wide video. It had humble beginings as a simple broadcast of the anchors simply reading prompts off paper. As things got more organized and more students got involved. WPTV has grown into a vision of a doing the best possible with limited resources. It is currently an organization of around 10 students and with a feedback system for the entrie school and anyone from the outside to participate in this process of choosing programming.
