Television is the primary communication tool of our time both in the home and at work.
Whether the medium is broadcast, cable, satellite, videotape, CD-ROM or DVD, the industry recognizes that television production skills are necessary to function effectively where the creative use of moving images, graphics and audio are used to communicate.
