Uraian Tempat

This department was originally established as the Center for Radio and Television in 1966. The academic program led graduates into a career in either teaching or commercial broadcasting. Ahead of its time, the center had an emphasis on practical experience over traditional textbook learning. Back then, students could serve as staff members at the 10-watt radio station WBST (now part of Indiana Public Radio) or could work on closed-circuit instructional TV programs. As a decade passed, the degree program evolved into its own academic unit called Radio/Television/Motion Pictures, or R-T-M. The first student organization was the Broadcast Guild which, through the work of Professor Dave Smith, became an official chapter of the National Broadcasting Society, or Alpha Epsilon Rho. The national president of Alpha Epsilon Rho, John Kurtz, became the new department chair in 1980, and the current name of telecommunications (TCOM) was adopted. In the mid-1980s personal computers began appearing on desktops, allotted to faculty members by seniority. Wible worked with David Letterman to start a carrier current student radio station called WCRD. In 1988, the department moved from the Arts and Communication Building to the then new Edmund F. Ball Communications Building. TCOM has grown to serve nearly 1,200 majors and minors with 21 full-time professors. Nine student-run television programs air on WIPB, cable, or closed-circuit television.
