Middle Tennessee State University’s “Out of the Blue” TV magazine show is celebrating a decade of telling MTSU’s stories about students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends in its November 2020 edition.

This month sees the return of old friends to the campus where they helped share MTSU news with viewers across the Midstate and around the world.
