Wildcat News and Big Blue Banter Production
- Wildcat News is our live student-produced newscast at UK.
- Big Blue Banter is our student-produced sports-themed show.
For Spring 2025, the shows and internship will take place in the brand new RUPP ARENA STUDIOS. This is a unique opportunity to help launch a new production studio and shape the future of our productions and programming.
We are looking for students who would like to focus on the studio production side of broadcasting/streaming for JAM399 credit. This internship will focus on live and "live-to-tape" audio production, technical directing and directing news and sports programs.
Our newscast will be live at 1 p.m. Tuesdays on UK's Twitch channel and be posted to the College of Communication and Information's YouTube channel. The sports program will air at the same time on Thursdays.
Other duties will include some simple video editing with Premiere Pro and the digital posting of links, programs and social media topics. Other projects may be assigned based on the needs of the productions and the interests of the intern. In the past, these have included more sophisticated video editing projects, journalistic storytelling and social media design work.
This is not an on-air position, although if a JOU student would like to provide some content in addition to studio duties, we can talk!
Position averages 10-12 hours/week for JAM 399 credit.
- REQUIRED in-person hours at the Rupp Arena Studios: Tuesdays and Thursdays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the Spring semester.
- Other hours as arranged based on needs and schedules. Some may be performed online or offsite on a flexible time schedule.
Experience needed: MAS 312 or permission of instructor. If you have worked in the field with cameras or in a studio in front of one, let's chat!
