TV and Radio Broadcasting School Launches www.mediosuno.com Website as Part of the U.S.’s First Broadcast Media Training Program for Spanish-Speaking Students

“The Ohio and Illinois Centers for Broadcasting today announced plans to start the United States’ first broadcasting training program dedicated to Spanish-speaking Americans. As part of the program plans, the school today launched www.mediosuno.com , a comprehensive website dedicated to the School’s Hispanic Media Broadcasting Training Program. The School has selected its Denver, Colorado campus for program launch, due to Metro Denver’s large, dynamic, and growing Hispanic population. The inaugural classes will start on September 24th and September 25th at the Lakewood, Colorado campus of the Ohio Center for Broadcasting, and these classes are expected to fill in rapid fashion.

A shortage of well-trained staff exists in the broadcasting industry, and this shortage is most evident in Spanish-speaking media outlets, where it is rare to find a Spanish speaking job candidate with the skills required for a position at television and radio stations. Rodolpho Cardenas, Senior Anchor/Producer for Univision Colorado states, “Our industry desperately needs well trained Spanish-speaking broadcasters. It is difficult for broadcasting companies to find the right people, to the point that sometimes it is necessary to bring them from different countries in Latin America.” Mr. Cardenas continued, “To have a broadcasting program entirely in Spanish is a dream come true for thousands of Spanish speaking students and young adults. Such a program will offer many Hispanic students the opportunity to get a career, to develop their creativity, to be confident and to succeed in our very competitive society. It opens the doors to a world of opportunities.”

The Hispanic Media Broadcasting Training Program is part of the nationally accredited Ohio and Illinois Centers for Broadcasting, which also has campuses in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Denver, and Admissions Offices in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Columbus, Ohio. The schools provide all the skills necessary for a career in radio and television. At the broadcasting centers students develop expertise in all aspects of broadcasting in front of the camera/microphone or behind the scenes in video or audio production while learning from industry professionals on a daily basis.
