With live programming, original content production, and immersive learning opportunities, 91ܽ-TV is set to become a launching pad for future careers in television, media, and digital communications.

“With 91ܽ-TV, students are not only building technical and storytelling skills, they’re also learning the core principles of journalism: accuracy, fairness, and integrity. By understanding news values and committing to unbiased reporting, they’re preparing to become trustworthy voices in a rapidly evolving media landscape,” said Colleen McElveen, Assistant Professor of Communications at 91ܽ, who oversees the program. “This is an exciting time for 91ܽ and for students who want to make their mark in broadcasting.”

91ܽ-TV gives students the chance to take on every role in a television production, from on-air talent to behind-the-scenes technical work. The station will produce live broadcasts, news segments, interviews, sports coverage, and entertainment programming. Live shows air Thursdays at 2:30 p.m. on (@NewEnglandCollege91ܽTV), with additional content available on (@nec.tv).

’s Communication Studies program has long emphasized experiential learning, and 91ܽ-TV takes this commitment to the next level. Students will work with state-of-the-art equipment, develop professional production techniques, and build portfolios that set them apart in the competitive media industry.

The station’s inaugural broadcasts featured student-led news reports, campus event coverage, and behind-the-scenes tours of the new facility. The enthusiasm from students and faculty has been overwhelming, and 91ܽ-TV is already drawing attention as a model for hands-on learning in higher education.

“This is an incredible opportunity for our students to gain real-world experience in broadcasting while creating compelling content that informs and engages,” said Dr. Wayne F. Lesperance, Jr., President of New England College. “91ܽ-TV is more than just a station—it’s a creative hub where students can develop their skills and shape the future of media.”

With the launch of 91ܽ-TV, 91ܽ continues to expand its experiential learning opportunities, preparing students for successful careers in media, journalism, digital content creation, and beyond.
