Trojan Vision is the student operated television station located at the University of Southern California's University Park campus. Trojan Vision signed on the air on September 15, 1997, through a generous grant from the USC Annenberg Center. In the spring of 1999, the university received a gift from Hollywood director, and USC alumnus, Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back to the Future). The gift was made towards developing a state-of-the-art digital training facility, in which Trojan Vision is presently located.
Trojan Vision is an important training ground for students from all USC schools. Trojan Vision operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, airing on channel 8. Programs are produced exclusively by USC students for students, and are broadcast to the entire USC campus and surrounding student housing, reaching more than 29,000 students and 18,000 university employees daily.
In 2006, Trojan Vision was invited to join the USC School of Cinema-Television. Later that year, USC alumnus George Lucas gave $175 million to rename the school to the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Currently, Trojan Vision is a division of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Trojan Vision provides its staff with a hands-on learning experience in all areas of television, as well as the opportunity to have student work seen across the city and beyond.
