They get experience shooting video, editing, writing scripts, hosting shows, directing, and operating cameras. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have interns and volunteers. I send emails letting them know of upcoming projects and they get involved. I try to get involved with each student to see what position they feel they want,\u201d Rubalcava said. \u201c In TV you can be talent, producer, editor, videographer or a combination of two. There are also management positions which deal more with the legal aspect of the business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The channel has attracted some top-flight talent along the way. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubalcava, who oversees day-to-day operations at the station, has worked as a producer and editor at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telemundo.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Telemundo<\/span><\/a> and as a director at KPRC TV, the NBC channel in Houston, Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-air personality James Pierre, an award-winning journalist with nearly two decades of experience, hosts various shows and producer Tony Leal, who previously worked for Univision and the Home Shopping Network, are a few examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hard work is paying off for the upstart station that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be viewed on AT&amp;T U-Verse (Channel 99) and on Comcast (Channel 78). It has <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">garnered several accolades including a coveted Telly Award.
