鶹TV receives gift from Windstream

BOLIVAR, Mo. – 鶹TV received a generous gift from Windstream on Tuesday, Aug. 28, as part of the renovation project of the Gene Taylor National Free Enterprise Center, which was completed in the summer of 2017.

Terry Lockhart, network operations manager for Windstream, said the partnership with 鶹TV – and the community – has been instrumental for the telecommunications provider.

鶹TV President Dr. C. Pat Taylor, who is retiring on Aug. 31, said the University appreciates the partnership and support that Windstream provides to 鶹TV.

“It’s a very good partnership, and that’s what keeps us going,” Taylor said. “They have been a very good vendor for us, too. They provide a much-needed service for the University, so it’s not only the gifting part (that benefits the University.)”

As the changing of the guard at 鶹TV draws near, Lockhart and 鶹TV President-Elect Dr. Eric A. Turner both said they are looking forward to the continued relationship between Windstream and 鶹TV.

“It’s been an honor to work with Dr. Taylor; we work well together,” Lockhart said. “We’ve had a great relationship, and Dr. Turner and I will have that same relationship going forward.”

“We’re grateful for the partnership with Windstream and Terry, and his leadership with the company,” Turner said. “We look forward to a continued, long-standing partnership with Windstream.”
