1955–PRESENT · NOTRE DAME AND PUBLIC TELEVISION (BOUNDARY)

The succession the row asks for stands in two lines. The university line: production at Notre Dame ran first through WNDU itself (art-64-5) — the university as broadcaster, 1955–2005 — and, after the station's sale, through the university's own production houses: Golden Dome Productions, the university's production company of the post-WNDU generation, and its successor campus house, Fighting Irish Media, with the Martin Media Center as the campus production home — Fighting Irish Media's Inside Notre Dame Football and Inside Notre Dame Basketball review programmes are its standing products, produced at Notre Dame and aired, in a neat closing of the circle, on WNDU itself. The house names and the succession (Golden Dome → Fighting Irish Media / Martin Media Center) are carried here at the strength of the row and the university's published record as openly reachable; programme-by-programme credits stand below that strength and are not itemized. The public-television line: WNIT (channel 34), the market's PBS member, signed on in February 1974 — its arrival is fixed in the WNDU record itself, which carried Sesame Street from 1970 until WNIT's sign-on took the programme home — and public television's local producers and programmes for the Michiana market are WNIT's own record, Elkhart–South Bend seated and carried in those builds. Osceola's share of both lines is reception: the town's screens carried all of it, its name appears in none of its credits in the record reached, and no Osceola production house, campus or public, has ever existed. Named gap (residue): Golden Dome Productions' founding date and programme list, and WNIT's local-producer roll at credit strength, are settled by the WNIT and university production records named in the row, read at source.

University production-house names (Golden Dome Productions; Fighting Irish Media; Martin Media Center) as assigned in the row and the university's published record.
