Broadcast and campus comedy: the market's inventions are the cities'

ITEMS 5–6 · THE HOMEGROWN SHOW IS THE MARKET'S, NOT THE TOWN'S; THE SCHOOL RECORD ACROSS THE FENCE

Two of the checklist's chapters presuppose institutions — a television market's own comedy, a campus's humor magazine — and both print here at boundary size with the town's name tested against each. Broadcast: the South Bend–Elkhart market's one homegrown comedy invention of record — the locally produced satire of the Beyond Our Control pattern, WNDU's Junior Achievement company making television comedy in South Bend for over a decade — is that city's whole, printed there; no performer, writer, or sketch of that company, and no locally produced comedy program of any station, is documented with a Walkerton tie in the record reached. The town watched the market's comedy; it is not recorded as having made any of it. Campus: the university humor magazine and the campus revue are Notre Dame's and the colleges' forms (the South Bend build's ground); the town's own campus is a high school — John Glenn's, and Walkerton High's before it — whose printed humor record stands where the banked set already put it: the literary magazine The Aerial and the school papers of Schools, which carry the student voice whole and in which no humor magazine, comedy revue, or satire publication distinct from them is documented in the publications record reached. Both chapters close at the same disciplined place: the forms exist, the seats are elsewhere, and the tie test for this town's name comes back empty — printed, not inflated.

Principal sources: the market's broadcast record at boundary size (WNDU's local-comedy course); Schools (The Aerial; the school papers); the publications record tie-tested November 2026.
