Election Night in Waynesburg LIVEElection Night in Waynesburg was a LIVE production that occurred on the campus television station from 8p.m. to about 11:30p.m. the night of the 2016 Presidential election.
The show featured live call-in guests including the former press secretary to Rick Santorum, Bruce Barron, conservative Christian talk show host Kevin McCullough, PA State Representative Pam Snyder (D), in-studio guests from campus political club leaders to political science professors, and a focus group made up of students who voted in the election. The show was broadcasted to the local Waynesburg, PA audience, which included the over 1,000 students at Waynesburg University, many of whom were tuned in watching the program at an election watch party. The program was also streamed online. While WCTV has hosted live shows before, the election show proved to be one of the longest live shows ever for the station, the first known election night show, and was hailed by liberals, moderates, and conservatives for its diversity in coverage and array of guests.
