The Department of Education (DepEd) is still seeking on-camera talent for its eponymous distance learning channel, DepEd TV.

In a report by TeleRadyo, around 200 teacher-broadcaster slots are still open due to the rigorous training and workshop. Out of the initial 3,000 applicants, only a hundred were chosen and have started shooting episodes for the blended learning initiative.

DepEd TV needs to produce 130 to 200 TV lectures per week, or up to five episodes per teacher-broadcaster. They will also be guided by the broadcast industry on how to shoot, record, and edit.
