Together they bring many years of broadcasting and business experience to Channel 52. Since a change in management took effect in November 2010, the station has made major strides in programming. KSBI-DT/TV is developing and producing many new shows, including “All About You”, “Hollywood Spotlight”, “Oklahoma Live”, “OK Sports Wrap”, “Dog Talk”, and others scheduled to start throughout this year. In addition, the station will be transitioning to a full high-definition facility within the next quarter.
We are looking for talented, reliable, hard-working individuals who are eager to learn the ins and outs of the broadcasting business. The more exposure a student has to the real world of broadcasting, the better equipped that student will be in transitioning from a school setting to a business setting. We want to provide a positive, flexible, yet hard-working and productive environment for growth and support.
