 Within the walls of the Center for Communication and Business building resides a
state of the art radio and television production center.
Seaver students may specialize in broadcast journalism (news) and
production. Students have the opportunity to work on Pepperdine's
cable television and radio stations: TV 26, and KWVS 101.5 F.M.,
which serve the campus and Malibu communities.
TELEVISION STUDIO -- TV 26 NewsWaves is a local television
newscast produced by students at Pepperdine University. Most are
majors in broadcast news or production, but students of other majors
participate and are welcome.
NewsWaves is the only independent
local television news coverage available that concentrates on the
Malibu-Calabasas area. Students shoot video and gather information
about stories in the community. The students present NewsWaves on
Pepperdine's TV 26 twice weekly during most weeks that classes are in
session. The newscast is televised live at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from late September to mid November and from late January
to early April. The newscast is repeated at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
TV 26 shows educational, public affairs, entertainment, and arts
programming, provided through Pepperdine University's Communication
Division. Pepperdine students produce some of the programs. TV 26 has
a potential audience of more than 12,000 households in Malibu, parts
of Calabasas, and a few other nearby areas. The television production area boasts a
digital newsroom with 10 Avid machines used to cut field footage to
be inserted into live news broadcasts from the studio. Students also
produce independent television programs, and have access to 6
separate editing bays for individual productions. If you want
