BROADCAST TECHNICAL OPERATIONS:
The Technical Operations internship resides within WGAL’s Engineering department. This internship includes actual “hands on” operation of equipment under the observation of permanent tech op staff members. The goal of this internship is to expose the student to real world daily technical operations in a television station. The training of the interns would be similar to what would be taught in a vocational/technical school.
Each intern will gain a general understanding of the following technical areas:
- Control Room/Studio Operations (Floor Direct, Audio, Directing)
- Air Operations (Master Control)
- ENG Receive
- IT
After completing time in each of the above areas, the remainder of the program will be designated for students to return to their area(s) of choice to gain additional training. The intern's scheduled days will remain the same from week to week however, hours will vary.
Equipment Use: As the purpose of the internship is to gain training in the technical areas, students will be allowed to touch and train on the technical equipment. Use of the equipment will be limited and closely supervised and monitored.
Internships are scheduled based on mutual availability and academic schedule and requirements, but may consist of up to 24-hours per week
