What is The Wire?
The Wire TV is SUNY Oneonta’s very own student run television
station. The club offers students hands on experience working in a real life television
studio. Whether it is in the control room, on camera, or behind the scenes,
students develop skills in all aspects of television production.

There are six shows produced and directed strictly by SUNY
Oneonta students. The shows range from sports to movies to celebrity news and
gossip. Each show requires around 12 members on the crew. This allows students
to learn a variety of positions. Wire TV Secretary, Bridget Greene said, “I was
able to learn how to do different positions and ultimately moved up to be a
floor manager, then I did camera, and know I’m a producer.”
The Future
Students agree that the club offers them a fun experience
working in TV production, but how it prepares them for the future is what they
enjoy the most. Wire TV member and transfer student, Austin Teitelbaum said, “I
learned so much already in a month. I know to do camera, how to pan, how to
zoom. I never knew that stuff before joining.” The Wire allows its members to
write, produce, and put together full episodes that will essentially help them
land jobs upon graduating from Oneonta.
