NBC & MTV Studios Tour

On Friday, June 2, 2017, Western Wayne High School students took a trip to NBC and MTV Studios in New York City.  The students were able to tour NBC Nightly News, Saturday Night Live and the workings of an NBC production room.  At MTV, the students were on the floor of where many shows are shot at the Times Square location, toured production rooms, green rooms and event areas.  This trip highlights all the diverse aspects of the TV/Film industry and shows the students how many different parts there are to a television station.  Students are able to really get a feel if this field of work is something they might be interested in when it comes to their future.  Chaperones, Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mr. O’Hora, would like to thank Jackie Amador and Marcy Dyno for providing such a wonderful experience.
