The Radio/TV/Film (formerly Broadcasting) unit at East Tennessee State University prepares students for entry level jobs in the radio, television and film industry, and provides a foundation for future growth and career development in research, programming, writing, directing, producing, managing and ownership of the nation's electronic and entertainment media.
In addition to the cultivation of artistic and practical skills, the program emphasizes history, law and ethics of electronic media and a broad knowledge of the social, economic, and cultural problems of the society it serves. ETSU Students receive hands-on experience by working in the division's student operated radio and television stations, laboratories, and through approved internships.
On April 18th, 2011, the ETSU community
celebrated the history and renovation of The Department of
Communication's Radio/TV/Film Division (RTVF). The ETSU's campus
community, current students, local media professionals and alumni
came to celebrate this special event.
Tom Headley, founder of the RTVF (formerly "Broadcasting")
program was recognized for his contributions to the program and
to the ETSU. Daniel Santiago, RTVF Chief Engineer, was
recognized for his work overseeing the 1.5 million dollar
renovation to the facility.
Thanks to a grant from the ETSU Centennial Committee, RTVF
produced a short documentary about the history of the academic
unit.
Watch the documentary.
