Unpaid Programming Intern

WFLA-TV/News Channel 8 offers year-round opportunity for students to apply classroom theory to practical experience. Our internship program allows students to experience firsthand the reality of working in the TV broadcasting industry.

Interns can test their creative talent, exercise their analytical skills and increase their understanding of broadcasting operations and trends.

Our internships offer meaningful educational and work experiences designed to meet the academic and career goals of the intern.
