Communication Shadowing Experience

Live Sports: Behind the Broadcast

Considering a career in Communication and Sports Broadcasting? Would you like to give the program a test drive? This opportunity is for you! 

Live Sports: Behind the Broadcast is a shadowing experience for students interested in studying Communication at The University of Toledo. 

With this opportunity, you'll get a sneak peek at the great hands-on experiences our COMM 3260 students get in the amazing and exciting Bachelor of Arts in Communication degree program.

You'll Get to

  • Shadow the production team during a live Toledo Rockets game broadcast
  • Experience pre-game through tear down with the crew
  • Learn what it takes to produce an ESPN broadcast
  • Attend a NCAA game for free! 

Registration

Games will be added throughout the year so keep an eye on this page and the registration link for new dates. 

Space is limited to 4 students per game, as to not disrupt the live work of the crew. You are able to bring up to two additional guests who can watch the game while you participate in the shadow opportunity.
