The network will deliver instructional content programming to students, families and teachers, using a wide variety of media platforms, including a system of dedicated broadcast channels.
WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University will begin airing the station in January 2021, providing curriculum-aligned instructional resources for students and teachers, beginning with Pre-K to 3rd grade content and quickly expanding to include grades 4 to 12.
In WKAR's mid-Michigan viewing area, MLC will be available free on over-the-air broadcast channel 23.5. It will also be available as a digital livestream and posted for on demand viewing at MichiganLearning.org; as well as stored for on-demand viewing, ensuring accessibility to all students, educators and families in the state.
The instructional content will be aligned with Michigan’s educational standards and will follow widely accepted sequences for mastering skills throughout the school year, to make it as useful as possible for schools and students. Designed to support and enrich school learning, the lessons will be presented by a diverse group of educators, delivered as if the teacher was in a classroom setting.
