The spotlight is on the new broadcasting club under the umbrella of Roar Student Media.
Piedmont University had a broadcasting club, but it stopped and was never started again. Until sophomore Carlie Crane took the reins and started the new broadcasting club.
“RoarTV is a news, sports and entertainment broadcasting club where students can learn and practice broadcasting and entertainment skills,” said Crane.
Her inspiration to launch this club stemmed from her high school audio and video tech teacher, Kyle Rolader. The class produced a weekly broadcast, and Crane could not let go of the memory of deciding to start RoarTV. “I can’t wait to see other students passionate about this club and creating a new and hopefully long-lasting piece of the mass communications department,” said Crane.
They will be broadcasting episodes covering the three components of Piedmont news, sports, and entertainment. The first episode will air on Oct. 13 and will be available on the RoarTV YouTube channel. You can locate the channel by going into Instagram @theroartv and clicking on the bio where the YouTube link is located. RoarTV will give the opportunity to students to work in those three sections, each section will have a group of students to create content for their designated group.
“I am most excited to start something new here at Piedmont University,” Crane said.
It is the start of something, and there is still a chance to join if you are interested.
Meetings are Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-5:00 and 6:30-8:00 in the Mac Lab (Room 119) in Swanson Center. Contact Carlie Crane by emailing her at [email protected] and she will send you more information to get started.
