TEN Timeline of Events

Early 1990's The Timberlane Education Network, more commonly known as TEN, is on the air for the first time. At this time, TEN is seen in Plaistow and Sandown on Channel 30, Atkinson and Danville on Channel 60. Soon after, TEN begins televising School Board Meetings live.

Mid 1990's Under the direction of the late Ann Reardon, a student television program, WKID-TV, begins at Timberlane Regional High School. Students create and star in the own programs, which air on the station. The "Know It All's" Game Show has been a part of WKID for many years.

1996 "Dateline Timberlane", a monthly news program from TRHS, begins airing and continues until April 1998.

1998 After cable companies change hands, TEN moves up the dial from Channel 30 to Channel 6 in Plaistow and Sandown. Soon after, TEN moves from Channel 60 to Channel 22 in Atkinson and Danville.

2000 TEN goes off the air during the Summer, while the High School is closed for renovations, and Technology moves to new offices. This year, TEN televises the ground breaking ceremonies for the expansions at other schools in the district.
