Southampton Local TV Studio
at Southampton Cultural Center
WELCOME TO THE
EXCITING WORLD OF
TV BROADCASTING
BROADCAST TV UNIVERSITY
Television Broadcasting is only getting bigger as an industry and generates 200 billion U.S. dollars a year. More than ever, talented team members are needed as crew, engineers, and journalists. Get a taste of this exciting industry right here at Southampton Cultural Center in our new, TV Broadcast Studio for Students.
Students (ages 13-18) will learn skills in every area of the broadcast field and they’ll have the ability to land a position as an SLTV anchor, reporter, director, sound and lighting engineer, graphics engineer, and more.
Be part of the SLTV Team and help us provide great content for our community. Classes will begin in the Winter of 2023.
Live television is a daily reality; important news and events are broadcast or webcast as they happen on network, cable, and Internet outlets. Students learn everything from live on-location reporting, talk shows, and special projects. Our curriculum is designed to do more than prepare broadcasters for the future. There’s an immeasurable amount of perks that students gain from our program. Here are some of the many benefits of establishing a TV and Livestream broadcast program and on-site instructional studio:
