Correction: Ball State-Musicals Class story

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - In a story June 5 about a free online class on Hollywood musicals being offered by Ball State University and Turner Classic Movies, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Ball State professor Vanessa Ament would make on-air introductions for musicals on Tuesday and Thursdays during the month of June. Ament made those introductions only during the first week of June.

A corrected version of the story is below:
