Department of Communication
Facilities
The
focus of the Communication Department's facilities is providing student access
to current technology. The Department houses a three bay digital radio production
facility. These facilities are
open evenings with student staff for independent classwork.
Two television studios house separate control rooms with, a total of six studio cameras and teleprompter capability in each studio. The main studio will convert to digital technology by Fall 2008. For students working on field production, the School of Arts and Performances has a 22-station G-5 Mac Lab with Final Cut Pro and other digital editing software. Television studio and edit facilities are open evenings for student use.
Journalism/public
relations students work extensively in the fully computerized journalism laboratories.
They also submit work to the weekly student newspaper, The Stylus, and
have access to the Stylus' state-of-the-art computerized production and design
equipment.
All students are welcome to work on-air or behind the scenes at WBSU
89.1 The Point, the student-operated FM radio station. A completely
digital production and broadcast facility, WBSU 89.1 The Point is on the air
24 hours a day and is the largest and most powerful radio station in the SUNY
system.
All students interested in television production may become members of the BTV Club, which produces a half hour program twice monthly as well as a weekly newscast.
