DESCRIPTION
Stories can be told in many different ways. Do you have a vision?
Each fall and summer semester [not available winter semester] students are exposed to all aspects of local TV production — from concept to air. WDIV-TV’s award-winning local specials are highly regarded as innovative trend-setting productions. Our interns are a part of that process and we hope they leave here with a well-rounded foundation of the skills and knowledge that will help them compete successfully in the entry-level job market.

The Programming/Production team brings these big local events to our on-air and mobile viewers — the three-hour special event broadcast of America’s Thanksgiving Parade, the two-hour primetime Fireworks special, the weekly public affairs program Flashpoint, the newsmagazine First Block, the Arts Beats & Eats special, annual Auto Show coverage and more.
