Gaston College Broadcasting

 The Gaston College Broadcasting Program continues to grow and improve.  New equipment and program updates are elevating the program to a professional level preparing students for entering the media industry.  The program allows students opportunities to participate in field trips to top media outlets, like WSOC, WBT, WBTV, NASCAR, and many more production studios.  This gives you a broader prospective of the opportunities available to you and opens your eyes to some of the requirements.  It is very inspirational in directing you into the specific area that may interest you. Often times during the field trip, there are always questions that enlighten you to things you don't even think about.  Students should always take advantage of the opportunities to visit the local media outlets.

Next semester will be even better when the new video recording studio will relocate to the CASS building with the other Broadcasting Programs.  Having all the Broadcasting classes centralized to one location will benefit the students and staff as well.  New students in the fall will have the new restructured program which has been updated where the classes flow better.  Many of the classes will now have prerequisites that will enhance the learning in other classes.

The video section uploads their work to  youtube.  There has been a lot of progess and improvements over the quality of work that has been produced.  I am sure this will continue as improvements are made with equipment and curriculum.

Thanks to our program directors for your efforts in continuously working to make the Broadcasting Program at Gaston one of the best in the area.  It is such an asset to the student when we have a staff that continues to try to improve the program.
