For those who are looking for the hands on experience that comes with getting a job in this field after graduation, then this is the place for you. “I love this club because it teaches you a lot about the more hands-on, you know, you work as talent where you get to write scripts, you work directing, you work camera work. This club is great because it teaches you everything that goes into running a live broadcast”, says anchor and crew member Austin Tietelbaum.

Mass communication majors and those with a love for television can all find happiness in one of the six shows that WireTV has to offer. WireTV takes pride in being a club that anyone can join a crew and feel at home. With the idea of home in mind, it is easy to see why some members spend so much time in the studio.  WireTV President Sam Johnson states, “everything with the Wire is all about hands on experience. I’ve never seen a club that I could work in an actual TV studio”.

Whether you are interested in movies, music, sports, gossiping about Hollywood news, or reading the news, it won’t be long until you are feeling right at home along with the other eager and dedicated members who help this club be so successful.
