Transforming Lives in West Ohio
On June 13 2012, WTLW-TV in Lima Ohio will celebrate 30 years of award winning broadcasting in Western Ohio. The station is focused on reaching the viewers other the 10 county area with a message of hope through Jesus Christ. This year Station Manager, Kevin Bowers announced an aggressive $750,000 fundraising campaign to overhaul the stations aging Master Control Center this summer. WTLW TV not only airs programming on its full power 44.1 digital channel but also broadcasts the nations only fulltime local sports station on 44.2 which is called WOSN. Both channels will convert to HD, again in a move few stations in the country have accomplished. Communicating this challenge to their supporters was critical. WTLW brought in Ondo Media from Columbus, Ohio to produce a video to covey the need for this historic change in the station. “It is so critical when presenting a major capital campaign that you communicate both the need and present what your ministry is doing to change lives” said John Ondo who produced and edited the video.
The video was presented to an audience of over 700 who came to hear former Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden for the Transforming Lives Banquet on February 9. “Its an honor to have worked on this project, this station has not only changed thousands of lives in West Ohio but my own, it an honor to tell their story” said Ondo. The goal is to raise $750,000 by June and currently they have raised over half of the amount.
