Capital
University
is proud to be the home of an award-winning Radio-Television
Services program. Equipped with the latest in digital
and analog equipment, we are able to produce professional-quality
programming in a variety of media.
Our program has produced the award-winning Skyline Columbus
program for local cable. The magazine-style show has featured celebrities
including Ice Skater Scott Hamilton, former Columbus Zoo
Director, Jack Hanna and local newscaster and Capital University
alumnus, Angela Pace.
Students
can also be members of our "TuttleVision"
crew. "TuttleVision" is a student produced
program that airs at, and is promoted throughout Central Ohio by,
the Mall at Tuttle Crossing.
The
television studio is located in the lower level of the Blackmore
Library. The studio provides a production facility for students
who take television/video-related courses.
So please explore what we have to offer by using the links provided.
We are sure you will agree that there are a lot of opportunities
here at Capital University.
•Program:
The radio-television-film (RTVF) program is designed to provide
the necessary skill development and academic knowledge for entry
into any of the three major areas of the broadcasting industry:
(a) news and performance; (b) production; and (c) sales, advertising
and management. It also is designed for students planning careers
in media education or in specialities that require a substantial
knowledge and appreciation of film and related media. Additionally,
Capital’s RTVF program prepares students of mass media for
further education at the graduate or professional level.
The
courses that make up the RTVF program encompass analysis, critical
inquiry, management, performance, production, programming and script
writing. The courses that make up the core of the radio-television
major include: introduction to mass media, broadcast newswriting,
television production, radio production, advanced television production,
advanced radio production, broadcast announcing and electronic media
management. Students also can assist in the operation of our campus
radio station and in the production of “Skyline Columbus,”
an award-winning cable access program and/or "TuttleVision"
a joint venture with the Mall at Tuttle Crossing's Marketing department.
For those interested in film, the film studies minor provides students
with the tools to analyze films from a variety of perspectives.
•Internships: Students majoring in radio-television
or educational radio-television have the opportunity to put into
practice what they learn in the classroom through internships in
community media operations. As a major metropolitan area, Columbus
offers a number of television and radio stations, cable television
companies, production houses and not-for-profit groups as internship
sites.
Recent internships placed students in the newsrooms and/or promotions
departments at WCMH-TV, WBNS-TV, WSYX-TV, WTVN-AM, WLVQ-FM, WWCD-FM
(CD101), WSNY-FM (Sunny 95), Lyon Video, Horizons Video & Film,
Vanguard Productions, Shaw Video Communications, ONN (Ohio News
Network) and Ohio Government Television. Other placements (in or
out of the Columbus area) also are possible in response to student
request. Qualified students can have as many as three internship
experiences.
•Approach:
The broadcast industry employs the talents of writers, performers,
videographers, editors, film reviewers, arts administrators, archivists
and technicians – just to name a few – and is a population
distinguished by its creativity, its currency of knowledge and its
commitment to excellence.
Visually and aurally acute, these professionals understand the power
of the media to educate and entertain. They, as responsible citizens,
also recognize the power of the media to fuel those opinions and
decisions that will shape the future. Capital’s RTVF program
prepares students to handle these responsibilities. In addition
to offering the student a broad base of course work in electronic
mass media, the RTVF program supports students’ interests and
studies in other disciplines. Students in this program receive a
substantial background in the liberal arts.
•Careers
and Placement: Graduates of Capital’s radio-television-film
program can find work in a variety of professional environments
in electronic media: local and network television and radio, video
production houses, advertising agencies, arts councils, cable networks
and educational media centers.
