The Florida Channel and the Capitol Update
The Florida Channel and the Capitol Update
Located in the state Capitol building, The FLORIDA Channel is a public affairs programming service funded by The Florida Legislature and produced and operated by WFSU-TV. It features programming covering all three branches of state government, and is Florida’s primary source for live, unedited coverage of the Governor and Cabinet, the Legislature and the Supreme Court.
Capitol Update is a half-hour public affairs program (found in The Florida Channel) that airs nightly when the Florida Legislature is in session and weekly the remainder of the year. Through in-depth reporting, live interviews, and regularly occurring segments like Bill Track, the program provides viewers across the state with a clear, concise and balanced view of state government in action.

We want to hear your thoughts about the state of education in Florida. Please comment on the following:
1. Public schools in Sarasota County stand to lose $60m in state funding, if the Republican supermajority in Tallahassee passes HB-1, which would make all students eligible to receive state funds for private tuition.
2. The leadership changes at New College of Florida with a stated goal of transforming the school into the 'Hillsdale of the South'.
