See Yourself In Television!!
 
“…you’re free to be creative and you get to use the latest technology!”
                                      -Rebecca
 
It is 2009. Digital is where the new jobs are…
 
This is your chance to explore the world of BROADCASTING. Get your start by registering for the Broadcasting Class: Introduction to Radio and Television.
 
 
                   “…I want to be in Television and this class has given me great
                   experience toward my career…”               -Jackie
                                                                            
In this ‘lab style’ class, you will work hands-on producing your own radio shows and experiencing what it takes to be a DJ working behind the microphone. 
 
                   “…There’s so much happening at once! Running all of the controls
                   and pushing the right buttons while trying to talk over the mic at the same time was amazing.”                   -Ally
                                                                            
You’ll work behind the scenes and in front of the Television cameras producing music videos, commercials and more, and record newscasts using ‘green screen’ chromakey technology to superimpose weather maps and Doppler radar right onto your weather broadcast.
 
“…Trying to report the weather and point to the right place on the blank green wall while looking at the floor monitor to find the lake gave me a new appreciation for what they do on TV every night…”                     -Dan
 
 
 
It all starts by registering for the class:
Introduction to Radio and Television
 
  

                   “…I’m so glad I got started in the Broadcasting Classes as a Freshman.  Because of that, I’ve been able to take the Advanced TV class and film and edit my own productions. It has given me confidence and the ability to  effectively communicate my ideas…”
                                                                             -Dennis
