BEA2025

In an era where sports broadcasting plays a pivotal role in the media, this panel explores the intersection of college athletics and television and radio production. We will present specific experiential learning opportunities tied to student media and course curriculum with a deeper look at partnership models. We discuss areas of specialty including television and radio broadcasting, public relations, branding and promotions. Through our examples and experiences we examine how hands-on learning bridges the gap between the classroom and the fast-paced demands of real-world television and radio production.

Moderator: James Lohrey, Shippensburg University
