Graduate feedback

• R. Churchman:

  "Every other air personality at my station is at least 7 years older than I and have been "in the biz" for a lot longer than myself. However, my personal Arbitron ratings for the fall were higher than everyone else's at my station. I attribute this to a number of things, one being the advice and critiques of the established professional broadcasters teaching at BC." 

• Steve Savard, KMOV-TV/Rams Radio

  "I have absolutely no regrets about entering this business. I think this is the best job anyone could have - that is, if you love sports. I have enclosed a copy of a letter of recommendation I received from my news director in Billings. I think it will illustrate how well prepared I was for my first job in this medium. I think this speaks well of Broadcast Center and its instructors."

• S. Smith

  "I owe a ton to BC. They schooled me in all of the necessary aspects of my job extremely well. All of the instructors were patient and wonderful. The rest is up to me.."
