Its focus shifted from entertainment to education in 2015 when it became a cross-curricular learning tool in middle schools and high schools.
"Time Rewind's" flagship facility is Ball High School in Galveston, Texas, where the program is a fixture of the daily "Good Morning Ball High" video announcements and broadcasts throughout the day on the school’s K-TOR Internet radio station. Radio listeners also hear “Time Rewind” throughout the day in major markets including Dallas-Fort Worth (on Mesquite Independent School District’s KEOM) and Phoenix (on the East Valley Institute of Technology’s KPNG/The Pulse and KVIT/Neon 90.7), and smaller markets including Kingsport, Tennessee (on the Kingsport City School’s WCSK) and Linton, North Dakota (on Linton High School’s KLHS and KLPS).
