About Us
In 1999, the City of Brentwood allocated Channel 9 to
Brentwood High School from its cable company, Comcast. At
first, the channel served as a billboard for high school
activities. One computer and a school secretary served as
the total operating system for the channel.
In the spring of 2001, Mark Madison and the television
classes assumed the responsibility of the channel and began
the process of developing a full-time station with coverage
for the entire northern half of Williamson County. Armed
with little more than three old cameras and one linear
editing system, five interns and four classes of high school
students set out to make Channel 9 the BEST educational
access channel in the state.
Over the last five years WBHS9 has won over 100 State,
Regional, and National awards in numerous film festivals and
video competitions around the country. As a member of the
Tennessee Press Association and the National Journalism
Education Association, the station covers events at Brentwood High School, Brentwood Middle School, and three elementary schools. Several schools across the state of
Tennessee have visited Channel 9 to pattern their developing
programs around this operation.
Today, thanks to the dedication of the students, community,
and parents, WBHS9 has established its program as the leader
in sports programming, school events, and community
activities. Programming now exceeds six hours per day.
