These live broadcasts are the centerpiece of the award-winning Radio/Audio Production program at the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT).
When you tune in, you are listening to the direct results of student hustle. EVIT students manage every single aspect of the production. They serve as the on-air play-by-play announcers, color analysts, and on-site engineers, while also handling all the pre- and post-production work. It is real-world, hands-on media experience that shapes the future of sports broadcasting.
