The province has commissioned a study to see if there's room on the dial and in the pocketbook for an English language educational public broadcaster in Manitoba. The province will fund a $15,00
0 study in partnership with On Screen Manitoba over the next few months to determine if the province can not only duplicate what exists in other provinces, but if it can take one step farther, said On Screen Manitoba executive director Tara Walker. On Screen Manitoba is the former Manitoba Motion Picture Industry Association. Walker said a provincial education public broadcaster would be a training ground for local filmmakers to tell stories, on TV and on the web, about Manitobans for Manitobans. It would also broadcast children's programs, assist in long-distance teaching and learning and let far-flung communities communicate through a public network across the province. "It's part of infrastructure that's missing," Walker said. "We've seen how the educational broadcasters benefit the independent production communities in Saskatchewan and Alberta and B.C. and Ontario and Quebec. Not having one here is sort of holding us back."
