What is the Radio-Television-Film program?The radio-television-film program consists of hands-on courses in the fundamentals of in-studio and off-site television production, radio station operation, digital audio production, writing for radio, television, and film, and cinema production. Students in the program learn about camera operation techniques used in the television and film industries, digital audio production techniques for both field and studio recordings, and writing, announcing, and producing for radio, television, and film. What will I learn?The radio-television-film program prepares students to enter the television and radio broadcasting industries, and other related media industries such as film, marketing and advertising, public relations, and corporate communications. Students receive hands-on experience at KSYM radio station, work in many production studios for TVSA television, and develop sound design and audio production for a variety of multimedia applications. Technical courses are balanced with theory-based courses so students can experience a critical approach to the industry. Students work with current industry-standard software programs and state-of-the-art equipment. |
What can I do with this course of study?The means of creating and distributing content have changed dramatically with digital technologies and streaming platforms. As traditional outlets have consolidated, more democratic channels have opened for those who can create compelling content that meets the audience’s appetite and can be distributed on demand on a variety of devices. Graduates are qualified to be employed by broadcast radio and television stations, film crews, lighting, and staging companies, advertising agencies, media production houses, recording studios, concert venues, theme parks, churches, and organizations that use multimedia approaches to deliver content to a private or public audience. What's special about our program?The radio-television-film program is more affordable than other programs offering a similar curriculum. The facility is equipped with two fully functional broadcasting studios that produce content for TVSA in collaboration with the City of San Antonio, a multi-track recording studio and broadcasting opportunities on community radio station KSYM, offering hands-on experiences. |
