 ABSTRACT

This work is based on the my involvement and completion of students industrial

work experience (SIWES), which was carried out at broadcasting cooperation of
Abia State (BCA), a cooperation whose duty is to bring free on air news and
entertainment programs for the masses within their coverage.The program lasted
for six months during which I was able to understand the relevance of my course of
study to the broadcasting industry.
Also, i was given the opportunity to see and handle equipments used in UHF and
FM signal transmission
Which was not available in school. I also learnt how to work in an office
environment as a team to achieve a common goal.
