Whitney High School Delivers Award-Winning Broadcast Media Program with Wirecast

Whitney High School Delivers Award-Winning Broadcast Media Program with Wirecast

This  case study by Telestream explores how Whitney High School in Rocklin, California, features an exceptional broadcast media program that has gained national recognition. Under the direction of teacher Ben Barnholdt, students produce “Unleashed,” a professional 15-minute daily newscast that has evolved into WCTV19, a community television station broadcast on campus, local cable channels, and social media platforms.

The program began eleven years ago with minimal equipment and budget but has grown substantially through creative fundraising, grants, competitions, and donations. Students gain comprehensive broadcasting experience by managing every aspect of production, from writing scripts and creating graphics to operating cameras and directing live shows. Telestream’s Wirecast software forms the backbone of their production workflow, enabling professional-quality broadcasts with features like chromakeying, graphics integration, and streamlined distribution. The program recently expanded with a 25-foot broadcast trailer for remote productions at sporting events and community activities.


Beyond technical skills, students develop teamwork abilities and professional work habits, arriving at 7 AM to prepare shows that are ready by 9:07 AM. The program has received numerous accolades, including US Education TV’s Best Overall Network and the Student TV Network’s Excellence Award for Best Daily Taped Show. With an “Ohana” (family) approach that balances healthy competition and mutual support, graduates have successfully entered college media programs or secured professional media positions, equipped with valuable digital communication skills applicable across various career paths.

Leading the Media Revolution: Grass Valley Unveils new Solutions for End-to-End Media Production at NAB Show 2025

Grass Valley Redefines Media Production with Cutting-Edge Innovations and the Power of the GV Alliance at NAB Show 2025

MONTREAL, CANADA – March 18, 2025 – Grass Valley, the media and entertainment industry’s leading technology innovator, is set to make a bold statement at NAB Show 2025 with a reimagined booth presence that showcases how the company is setting the pace for industry transformation through the dynamic power of the GV Media Universe (GVMU).   

The new location in the North Hall, booth N506, will offer a refreshing new look and layout to fully demonstrate the integrated GVMU ecosystem that covers every stage of the production workflow, from image capture to delivery. From the power of the AMPP platform to the renowned LDX 100 Series camera fleet, production switchers, and media infrastructure, Grass Valley will be showcasing the full suite of pioneering tools driving the new media revolution.  

Game-Changing Solutions 

“The dawn of a new age of media production is here, and we’re looking forward to meeting with customers and partners at our booth to demonstrate how the GV Media Universe is revolutionizing the production landscape for media companies around the world,” explains Grass Valley President and Chief Operating Officer, Jon Wilson.  

“Our industry is in a pivotal moment with many complex challenges facing media businesses as they transition to a new way of operating while continuing to deliver great stories and drive down technology costs to a more sustainable long-term model. This is where the GVMU is changing the game for organizations of all sizes and we’re excited to share how we’re leading the media revolution at NAB Show this year.” 

At the heart of the GVMU is the AMPP platform: the operating system for media production, bridging hardware and software solutions, and powering high-performance workflows across live production, content management, automation and distribution. Adoption rates for AMPP have skyrocketed, with average usage eclipsing 11 million hours per month. AMPP’s success is the foundation for the company’s wider growth story, having achieved impressive organic growth of more than 25% in 2024, and significant industry recognition through various awards and patents.  

“Grass Valley’s transformation has been driven by record investments in technology, processes, and people,” says Executive Chairman and CEO, Louis Hernandez Jr. “At NAB Show 2025, we will be demonstrating how our focus on organic growth and true innovation with the GVMU is enabling a new era of agile, sustainable, cost-effective production and delivery for media businesses everywhere. We’re proud to be setting the pace for industry transformation and look forward to sharing significant new developments with our partners and customers.”  

Drama at the Speed of Live  

Making its debut at NAB Show is the new LDX 180 camera which features the new Super35 Xenios imager that delivers stunning cinematic depth-of-field, with enhanced definition and vibrancy.  

Featuring all of the hallmarks of the LDX Series, including Creative Grading, ensuring artistic control across the lineup, the LDX 180 blends cinematic depth with the speed and precision of live production to redefine how stories are told. The full LDX Series will be on display, including the new LDX 110 with RF for wireless production, and the new LDX 135 with 5G, offering direct AMPP contribution without ingest conversion.  

The new Grass Valley booth will offer a showcase of the full GVMU, with products and solutions covering cameras and live production; networking and processing; news and media workflows; content management and editing; linear and event-based playout; and much more. The booth will also host members of the expanding GV Alliance, which brings together companies from across the media and entertainment industries in an open digital community with the shared goal of simplifying production workflows.  

In addition, the Grass Valley leadership team will be taking part in the GV Forum 2025 at the Renaissance Hotel Las Vegas on Saturday April 5 from 8am. Hosted by the GVx Council, the event includes executive panel discussions, case studies, exclusive industry research on behalf of GVx from Caretta Research, and AMPP technology demonstration sessions, followed by a drinks reception. Speakers include Del Parks, President, Sinclair Broadcast Group; Dave Travis, Group Director of Content, Broadcast & Platforms, Sky; Rebecca Jackson, Business Development Manager, Caretta Research; and Stuart Baillie, SVP Media Engineering & Global Distribution, Paramount.  

And the show-stopping news doesn’t end there, as NAB Show 2025 will also see the launch of a brand new book from Grass Valley Chairman and CEO, Louis Hernandez Jr. Digital Tsunami explores the massive digital shifts shaping the media and entertainment industry, offering critical insights for businesses navigating this complex and ever-evolving landscape.  

“The world is riding the crest of a digital wave that is transforming every aspect of our lives,” says Hernandez Jr. in prefacing his book, and with its AMPP-powered GVMU, Grass Valley is leading the media revolution enabling media organizations to thrive in this bold new age of media production, distribution, and consumption.  

Join us at our new location, North Hall, Booth N506, at NAB Show 2025, Las Vegas Convention Center, April 6-9, and be a part of the revolution shaping the future of media.

In this article, LiveU covers how RheinMain University of Applied Sciences sought to provide media students with practical, real-world experience to prepare them for the evolving production landscape. In partnership with Netorium AG, the university organized the 5G Media Production Hackathon – a project designed for students to explore 5G capabilities beyond campus by implementing cutting-edge 5G solutions in authentic production environments. The university prioritized acquiring industry-standard, future-proof broadcast equipment from established brands that students would likely encounter in their professional careers.

The university selected LiveU’s LU800 field unit as the cornerstone of its mobile production setup. This advanced unit elevates 5G transmissions by bonding up to eight 5G connections simultaneously while delivering premium video quality of up to 4Kp60 10-bit HDR.
Professor Dr. Stephan Böhm from the Department of Telecommunication and Mobile Media emphasized that LiveU’s pioneering technology perfectly matched the hackathon’s needs, allowing new-generation video producers to experience the latest 5G broadcasting solutions firsthand. The easy-to-use yet powerful LU800 quickly became the key tool for students.

Student crews, outfitted with LiveU backpacks, traveled to neighborhood businesses to stream directly to YouTube, creating broadcasts that showcased career opportunities for younger students. Netorium AG, LiveU’s established German partner, delivered comprehensive equipment and technical assistance throughout the initiative. This innovative 5G Media Production Hackathon at RheinMain University successfully trained tomorrow’s media professionals through practical experience with LiveU’s state-of-the-art broadcast solutions, simultaneously preparing them for the evolving production landscape and generating meaningful content for viewers.
