WRHU Mission:
Professional Broadcast Training For Hofstra Students
At WRHU students polish their broadcasting / social media skills in multi-media studios equipped with industry standard technology. Students create a variety of content including: news, talk, public affairs, music, and sports. Students converge audio / radio play-by-play with video creating multi-platform (mobile / web / broadcast) live game content for Hofstra Division 1 athletic teams and the NBA G-League Long Island Nets. Students produce & distribute all NY Islanders live NHL games to ESPN Radio NYC, Sirius/XM, NHL.com, WRCN FM, and WRHU FM. Students report live from political rallies, breaking news events, and festivals. In-house pros mentor students one on one.
