NewsChannel12 is a 30 minute broadcast of news, weather and sports involving Western Kentucky University, the Bowling Green community and its students. The program involves nearly fifty students in the School of Journalism & Broadcasting.
Student anchors, producers, photographers and reporters combine their resources to produce the program. All on-air and behind-the-scenes personnel rotate schedules to work on NewsChannel12.
NewsChannel12 affords students the chance to have their work ‘shown’ to viewers. This means the opportunity to build their resume via professional media experience. Hundreds of former WKU broadcast students now work in a variety of media outlets around the country and NewsChannel12 enhances that tradition.
