What is a TV Production Internship?

A TV Production Internship is a temporary, hands-on learning experience within a television production company or studio. Interns work alongside professionals to gain practical knowledge in areas such as filming, editing, scriptwriting, and production planning. The internship provides valuable exposure to the workflow of television production, allowing interns to develop industry-specific skills and build professional networks. These positions are often aimed at students or recent graduates interested in pursuing a career in television or media. Duties may vary depending on the company and specific production needs.

Work EnvironmentEducational setting, supervised, learning-focusedProfessional studio or on-location, hands-on work
Employer & Industry UsageMedia companies, production houses, internships for trainingTV stations, production companies, supporting production tasks

While both roles involve exposure to TV production, a Tv Production Internship is primarily a learning opportunity for students or recent graduates to gain industry knowledge. In contrast, a Tv Production Assistant is a more hands-on, entry-level position responsible for supporting the production team with various tasks on set or in the studio.

What types of tasks and responsibilities can I expect during a TV Production Internship?

As a TV Production Intern, you may assist with a variety of hands-on and administrative tasks, such as supporting the production crew on set, helping with equipment setup, coordinating scripts and schedules, and conducting research for upcoming segments. Interns often work closely with producers, camera operators, and editors, gaining insight into the workflow of a professional TV production environment. This role is a great opportunity to observe industry best practices, build technical skills, and make valuable connections, which can help you advance toward entry-level positions in television production.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a TV Production Intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a TV Production Intern, you need a foundational understanding of media production, strong organizational abilities, and often a background in communications or film studies. Familiarity with video editing software (such as Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro), camera equipment, and production scheduling tools is typically expected. Strong communication, adaptability, and teamwork skills help interns excel in the collaborative and fast-paced environment of TV production. These abilities are essential for ensuring smooth workflows, learning from professionals, and contributing effectively to successful productions.

Engineering and Production Operations:

The Engineering and Production internship resides within WMUR's Engineering department.

  • Air Operations (Master Control)
  • Engineering (installation, repair, and support of broadcast systems)
  • IT

After completing time in each of the above areas, the remainder of the program will be designated for students to return to their area(s) of choice to gain additional training. The intern's scheduled days will remain the same from week to week however, hours will vary.

Equipment Use:  As the purpose of the internship is to gain training in the technical areas, students will be allowed to touch and train on the technical equipment. Use of the equipment will be limited and closely supervised and monitored.

Internships are scheduled based on mutual availability and academic schedule and requirements, but may consist of up to 24-hours per week
