Students get the chance to work in a state-of-the-art studio of WMRT-FM.

Radio/Television

Students who major in Radio/Television at Marietta have a significant advantage because they can hone their broadcasting skills on two radio stations and a cable television operation. Students considering careers in broadcast news or production will have abundant opportunities to experiment with fresh ideas, practice their craft, and provide community service via these outlets.

Many experiences begin as early as the freshman year, when students can begin working with WMRT-FM, a 9,200-watt stereo station with an audience throughout Southeast Ohio and West Virginia. This station provides cultural and informational programming, local, regional, national and international news, and classical and jazz music.

WCMO-FM, a low-power station in operation since 1960, broadcasts contemporary music, variety shows, news, and other programming for the campus and area youth.

WCMO-TV7 airs student and faculty-produced programs to more than 11,500 homes on the Marietta cable television system. Student programming ranges from nightly newscasts and entertainment shows to regular coverage of Marietta City Council meetings. The newscasts include campus and local news, plus CNN national and international reports.

The Radio/Television curriculum places considerable emphasis upon learning to write well. Competition for broadcasting jobs is fierce, and exceptional writing skills put Marietta grads ahead of others seeking internships and initial jobs. Radio/Television students have rich opportunities for internships at small and large broadcast operations, from Marietta area stations to outlets in Boston, New York, and even national networks.

In the fall of 2004 WTAP-TV opened a news bureau in Marietta College's Mass Media building.
