South Carolina ETV Radio and Clemson University have announced that the noontime radio magazine Your Day will end production November 13th, 2014 after fourteen years. Your Day, a radio magazine produced as a public service of Clemson University Broadcast Productions, provided programming in the public radio tradition, but with a South Carolina flavor. It was broadcast over the stations of the ETV Radio network.
"We at Clemson appreciate our longstanding collaboration with SC ETV and look forward to developing new concepts for statewide broadcast,” said Cathy Sams, Clemson University Chief Public Affairs Officer, “With the launch of ClemsonTV in October, a web-based university television network, we will continue to make public service programming available directly to the people of South Carolina on demand."
“We’ve been grateful for a wonderful run,” said Shari Hutchinson of ETV Radio and Television, “but the time has come to move on to other projects. We look forward to future collaborations with Clemson.”
Clemson University and ETV will continue their long partnership on television, with the Emmy-winning Making It Grow! and the nationally syndicated Expeditions with Patrick McMillan.
Your Day featured stories and interviews about South Carolina. It also opened the phone lines for caller questions on daily topics, ranging from healthy eating, to pet advice, to tech reviews.
ETV Radio program director John Gasque says ETV Radio will expand its current program offerings on each service. Classical Music from ETV Radio expands into the noon hour on music stations, the news service will feature Here and Now.
Walter Edgar’s Journal, the popular South Carolina history and culture program, will continue Fridays at noon.
