Broadcasting 1 has offered me the opportunity to learn about the history of radio, TV, internet and media in general and is a great contribution to my education. I would definitely recommend this class to my friends. The broadcasting professors at LAVC know everything about broadcasting! That makes the class even more pleasurable because you are always going to find answers to your questions!.
