Sports Broadcasting at VFCC

This week is all about my favorite part of being a student here at Valley Forge Christian College, the Digital Media Major.  One of the classes that is offered at VFCC inside of the Digital Media Program is Sports Broadcasting I and II.  The class is comprised of about 10 students who rotate on a week by week basis to broadcast the Men's and Women's basketball games on Campus.  These students also have the chance to travel with the teams to the NCCAA Tournament in the Spring to broadcast the entire event.  This class is a great class to take if you want to know all about the "behind the scenes" aspect of a sporting event, while at the same time being able to actually use all the equipment that is needed to produce a stunning broadcast.

The pictures below provide a small glimpse into the responsibilities of our Sports Broadcasting team.
