Dawson Television or Dtv for short is a sketch show which releases a new 4 minute episode every other week at upper school meeting.
For many students in the Dawson community, the question of what’s happening with town council is a confusing one which lacks a solid answer. To tackle this challenge Vice President Canon Montgomery, Colin Mcleod, and President Jonah Lodge have made these announcements memorable with the power of editing magic and a whacky sense of internet humor.
Originally the brainchild of 2025 Senior Class President Connor Earles Dtv would release a new episode occasionally at upper school meeting last year, these episodes helped lay the foundation of what Dtv would become; a whimsy, wacky, wonderful adventure inspired by many different sketch youtube channels with Canon Montgomery specifically noting “Wizards with Guns, Whitest Kids you Know, and CalebCity” as 3 of his primary inspirations along with the contributions from Connor Earles.
One of the strengths of Dtv is its ability to not take itself too seriously. This careless nature is most present with host Canon Montgomery’s self-deprecating style of humor which allows students and teachers alike to become enchanted by the wacky but somewhat incoherent nature of Dtv with Canon stating that he has always “been willing to make a fool out of [himself] to make people laugh”.
