Want to be part of the action behind the scenes of live Kentucky Athletics broadcasts? This internship is your chance to jump into real-world production with UK Sports Network.

As we rapidly expand our live streaming, studio shows, and podcast programming, interns will play a key role in bringing broadcasts to life — from Wildcats football weekends to weekly coaches shows and special events.

This year, interns will also be part of the launch of an exciting new live Kentucky Men’s Basketball pregame show, originating from our Downtown Studio and debuting in October.

No extensive experience is required, just energy, curiosity and a willingness to learn in a fast-paced live production environment.
