No. We are a small non-profit, and unfortunately, we can not offer any payment or stipend at this time. We do think the hands-on experience of our internship helps make our internship attractive.

Our philosophy with the internship, and learning in general, is that getting your hands on the equipment, especially in real situations, is the ultimate way to learn. There are aspects of each position, or piece of equipment, that really can’t be fully expressed and obtained through reading or listening to a lecture. We will train you on our equipment and in each position, but the bulk of the internship is aimed for working on productions and projects.

As a Public Access TV Channel, most of the productions here are created by our community producers, so they vary depending on the specific interests of each producer. About 60% of our programming is religious in nature, but we also have talk shows, music programs, and educational programs. Many of your fellow crew members will be regular community members who are volunteering their time to help the member producers realize their goal of having a TV show.

We do not do news. Through our internship, you will get to learn different aspects of production and particularly equipment used in a typical television studio. If you are looking to be a crew person in news, this could be helpful as it will expose you to some of the basic equipment. If you are looking to be an on-air news person, we would not recommend this internship.

Experiences do vary day-to-day, but you may find yourself working on a television production (camera, lighting, audio, graphics, etc.), hosting or engineering a podcast, helping with or sitting in on some of our classes, troubleshooting or maintaining the equipment, or working on your video project (writing, shooting, and editing).
