NSU leaps into the FTP world

The Northwestern State athletic department, in conjunction with JumpTV and Davey Antilly of NSU 22, has recently implemented a new video file sharing system to better promote not only Demon athletics, but also University news in general.

JumpTV, the website provider for NSU athletics, has created a separate FTP account that allows video to be downloaded. Television stations from around the world are able to log onto the site and pull the video clips or soundbites to run on their newscasts.

With the help of Antilley, this project is not only beneficial and helpful for stations in Shreveport and Alexandria who can not make it to Natchitoches but once a week, it's also extremely positive for the University in showing our dedication and willingness to continue a great professional relationship with the media while promoting our school.

Only one other school in Louisiana is currently doing this type of thing, and that's LSU.

Huge props needs to go out to Antilley for his time in shooting and editing the pieces.
