MCTV's "Cribs" follows the same format as its inspiration, and like MTV's version, Marist's enjoys a healthy following, Krill said.
"'Marist Cribs' has been a student favorite," he said. The show is in its third season.
Krill also said that this season, the producers of the show are "looking to balance the season with both on and off campus houses" to offer viewers "a unique look at how Marist students live." Junior Scott Toohill, whose off-campus house will appear in the season premiere, said he remembered seeing the show for the first time.
"I thought it was cool to see what an off-campus apartment, other than a frat house, really looked like," he said. "I just didn't ever expect it would be me showing my place off."
Krill also talked about the other shows that can be seen on MCTV, such as "The Showcase," which involves taping campus events and airing them.
"In the past we've taped shows like The Humarists' Big Show, the Dance Club Show, the SGA Talent Show, and other campus events."
Senior Cyndi Pierre noted what she called a vast improvement in MCTV during her time at Marist.
"It's impossible to ignore the growth MCTV has gone through over my past four years here," she said. "The news has gotten better each year, and all of the new shows are awesome."
Krill discussed MCTV's goals for the future.
"We're really trying to bump up the quality of our shows and make them more detail-oriented," he said.
