A $15 million Mass Communication building completed in 1991 and the Photography Building make MTSU's facilities some of the best in the nation. Students get hands-on experience in television and radio studios, linear and non-linear video editing facilities, a mobile production lab, audio production labs, electronic newsrooms, a 100,000 watt, NRP-affiliated FM, and a FCC licensed student radio station. A cable channel can be viewed by regular subscribers to Murfreesboro's cable TV system. Students run the station and make all decisions, including budgeting, day-to-day operations, and hiring and firing. Four 30-minute newscasts air live four days a week and feature news from the campus and community. A comedy talk show, a lifestyles program, movie reviews, a campus and community issues exchange, a sports program, and music videos are weekly half-hour features. On-the-job training, internships, special projects, and visiting media professionals round out the learning experience.
