Welcome to the newest edition of the Graduate Bulletin from Vincennes University’s Broadcasting Department. It introduces our graduates from May, August and December of 2006.
This Bulletin is also available online. You can access it in three easy steps:
* Visit the VU website at vinu.edu * At the VU homepage, word search “Broadcasting” * Select Grad Bulletin
A Vincennes University Broadcasting student majors in Broadcasting or Broadcast Sales. Both come with intense hands-on experience. From the very first week of their education, our students are learning the operation of studio cameras and audio boards. Our department is far from “theory” oriented. We strive to keep our equipment as state-of-the-art as possible. Our faculty and staff have worked in the broadcasting industry and can relate to the needs of potential employers.
Nearly every station in Indiana has employed Vincennes University Broadcasting graduates because they are ready to go to work. Some of our students decide to continue their education at a four-year university. Those students who transfer to another school are better prepared than the other students in the major, because of the intensive, hands-on classes and labs required here at VU.
I appreciate your time in looking over this booklet. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (812) 888-5417. If you would like to see our facilities, please contact me to arrange a tour.
Sincerely,
Douglas A. Young Chairman of Broadcasting Vincennes University Vincennes, Indiana 47591 [email protected]

Page 25 WVUT-TV/WVUT-DT WVUT-TV is the University’s PBS affiliate serving Southwestern Indiana and Southeastern Illinois through the combined efforts of staff and students. Students are involved daily in all operations of the station. A daily 30 minute newscast is produced by students and staff. “Newscenter 22,” is broadcast live at 5:00 pm and re-broadcast at 11:00 pm. “Newscenter 22” has been presented with a Spectrum Award for Best TV Newscast in the Non-commercial TV category, by the Indiana Broadcasters Association. Students anchor the news, sports, and weather; shoot and edit stories; switch and direct; and operate all equipment necessary for the production. WVUT-DT is the first public digital television station to go on- air in Indiana, broadcasting a high definition and standard definition schedule daily.
Page 26 WVUT also produces “22 Magazine,” a public affairs magazine program. Students produce, edit and shoot program features and may help co-host the program. They also produce public television promotional materials and commercials for outside clients.
WVUT-TV/WVUT-DT
Page 27 Radio Production In addition to four on-air radio stations, there are eight audio production studios that contain a variety of professional audio production equipment. In the VU tradition of “hands-on” training, students learn to operate every piece of audio equipment in every studio. Students are required to use these studios for various projects. From our digital audio consoles to our “Adobe Audition” (formerly “Cool Edit Pro”) 64 track digital editors, students learn and practice on the latest audio equipment. The Broadcasting Department faculty and staff works directly with students in both formal and arranged lab situations.
Page 28 TV Production Through the combination of staff and students, WVUT-TV 22 produces more hours of local production than most public television stations. This could not be accomplished without staff and students working together to accomplish daily tasks and goals. Students are crew members for the nightly newscast, sports remotes, public affairs programs, and other productions throughout the year. Three AVID editing suites and two Final Cut Pro suites, coupled with linear two and three machine editing, are utilized for production.
“The major advantage VU Broadcasting grads have over other programs is hands-on experience.”
Page 29 WVUB--Blazer 91.1 91.1 WVUB, is a Hot Adult Contemporary/Contemporary Hit Radio 50,000 watt Public Radio Station. WVUB is affiliated with Public Radio International and the Associated Press. These affiliations provide our listeners with the most up to date information and enable WVUB to provide quality programming to a wide base of listeners.
WVUB is staffed by students who perform most of the on-air duties and production for the station. Students work with the AudioVault Express automation system when on-air, providing them with the training they otherwise would only receive at commercial stations.
Students on WVUB are supervised and trained by Broadcasting faculty and staff who have backgrounds in the commercial industry. On-air performance, improving communication skills and keeping the audience entertained and informed are just some of the goals students work toward when on-air. WFML-FM WFML-FM, “Hot 96.7,” is a commercial station staffed and operated by professionals who work with the students in several areas. Students engineer sporting events, go on remote broadcasts, and shadow the sales staff. Page 30 WROL-FM & WROK-FM WROL-FM (87.9) and WROK-FM (88.5) are low-power stations that are formatted much like regular commercial radio stations. Both stations are also streamed on the internet at www.vinu.edu. WROK-FM is a classic and current rock music station, while WROL-FM plays the latest contemporary pop, rock, and urban music. First year students have required shifts on these stations to develop their on-air presentation skills. Advanced radio students are staff members for these stations and develop skills in many practical areas of station operations.
Page 31 Remotes A variety of radio and television remotes are produced with students each year, ranging from men’s and women’s college basketball, volleyball, political debates, and election returns, to the Miss Vincennes University Scholarship Program (winner of the Indiana Public Broadcasting “Best Performance Award”).
Page 32 Multimedia Students can catch the wave of the future and enter the Broadcasting- Multimedia Option. Multimedia is the creative union of graphics, animation, audio, video, and text to produce an informative, eye-catching visual multimedia display that may end up on the Internet or on an Interactive-CD. This option provides students with the basic skills and techniques to move into this fast growing, challenging, and rewarding field.
Students in the Multimedia program gain a working knowledge of equipment and procedures in a project based environment. In the computer lab, students utilize Final Cut Pro non-linear editing to develop skills in multimedia authoring and animation.
Page 33 Broadcast Sales Option
Vincennes University Broadcasting offers a “Sales Option” in its Broadcast- ing program. Students who successfully complete this option develop a more specific background in broadcast sales. Radio, television, and cable selling techniques are presented and practiced. The successful Vincennes University Broadcast Sales student has a working knowledge of Arbitron and Nielsen rating techniques and uses, local regional, and national selling differences in addition to direct and agency selling skills.
Vincennes University’s commercially programmed WFML is a working labo- ratory for the Broadcast Sales students.
Based upon the strength of our sales instruction, students who success- fully complete the sales option will be eligible to take the Radio Marketing Professional test and become certified by the Radio Advertising Bureau. This places our graduates at a higher level when interviewing for a job. Vincennes University is the only college in the country “partnering” with the RAB in this manner, and shows our commitment to properly preparing our students.
