"What broadcasting is, so are we."

"Its images and sounds have entered our eyes and ears until we citizens... are constantly aware of its symbols and think in living color. The world has never seen the like of its potency, its view of life, and its pressures on the mind of humankind. Its dimensions are awesome and its compulsion almost irresistible. We had better learn all we can about it."

Television and Radio communication enter into every part of our lives. We depend on broadcasting for entertainment and enlightenment. It is a necessity in times of turmoil and stress. The TV/Radio course sequence recognizes the importance of broadcasting in our lives and strives to prepare our students for careers in TV and Radio and successful transfer opportunities to baccalaureate degree granting colleges and universities.

MCC TV/Radio professor Barry Goldfarb has been working in broadcasting since 1969 and has this to say about preparing students for careers in the field:

"Broadcasting is ever changing. What is "hot" today might be "cold" or gone tomorrow. MCC students must be prepared not only for today but also be able to adjust to what will happen in the future. That is the focus of our program, preparing for the now and the what if."
