What is Penn State On Demand? Making TV Better.
Penn State On Demand makes the vast resources of Penn State available in your home, on your schedule. Each program can be played, paused, rewound, fast-forwarded, stopped, and resumed. This unprecedented service builds on Penn State’s land-grant mission by offering engaging, informative programming based on the incredible diversity of work done at the University. Through provocative interviews, concise instructional and educational videos, revealing documentaries, and recently uncovered archival material, Penn State On Demand seeks to provide valuable programming for a variety of interests.
Whether through an in-depth panel discussion exploring cutting-edge Alzheimer’s research or a 3-Minute Gardener episode showing how to make your roof a “green” one, this service seeks to further the University’s mission of “making life better.” The tie that binds this diverse programming together is a commitment to enlighten as well as entertain.
Penn State On Demand is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between Penn State and Comcast, and draws heavily on the resources, productions and archives of Penn State Public Broadcasting.
The Penn State On Demand section of Comcast On Demand is located in the “Get Local” category of the menu structure. At least 20 hours of programming is available at all times. New programming is available every week, so there is always another choice to watch.
Viewers need to be Comcast digital TV subscribers in Pennsylvania in order to receive Penn State On Demand. The service is free and is available 24 hours a day.
