A satellite program reception system is available at the KUSM-W facility. This system is capable of receiving educational and informational programming that is transmitted from any one of a large number of C-band and KU-band satellites. Satellite programming can be viewed in several KUSM-W rooms depending on the number of participants. These rooms include the Great Plains Room, Santa Fe Room, Sunflower Room, Meadowlark Room, and Roberts Amphitheater. Large screen monitors or projectors and sound systems are available. Telephone and fax service is also available to facilitate interactive communications with the program transmission site.

Notice of upcoming satellite programs are normally published in medical and professional journals well in advance of transmission dates. Programs can be videotaped with sponsor's permission.

Requests for scheduling satellite sessions should be made through Information Technology Services Services (call 293-2605). Some of the more important scheduling information requirements are:

• Date and time of session(s)
• Estimated number of participants (to determine size of room)
• Identification of satellite transmitting source

Service fees may be assessed.
