Equipment and Resources

The Mass Communications department provides students with several opportunities to experience what it’s like to work in the various media. Students get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment to use practical techniques which will prepare them for the real world.

Bethune-Cookman College’s Voice of The Wildcats is the school’s newspaper.  The Voice of The Wildcats is published monthly during the fall and spring terms.  The newspaper is produced in the Mass Communications laboratory (Fine Arts 124).  The laboratory has 16 e-Mac computers, a scanner and HP Laser jet printer. The lab is where the newspaper is developed and staffers get to be a part of an actual newsroom.

WBCC – AM 830 is the student-operated station located in the Parlin Student Center. It operates seven days a week with a mix of gospel, R&B, Classics, Jazz, Reggae and more. The facility is a training ground for all B-CU students interested in careers in radio production, programming, management and sales.

WM&G-TV is the department’s television studio and the home of a number of student-produced programs that are broadcast weekly throughout the campus. The three room television studio is located on the first floor of the Carl S. Swisher library.  The studio features a control room, a three-camera production studio and an Avid editing suite.

The newest edition to the department is WRWS-99.1 FM. The Low Power FM station is located in the Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center and is scheduled to launch in the fall of 2007. It's a state-of-the-art professional broadcast facility that can reach listeners within five miles of the campus.
