Parking

“Those 7:30 a.m. arrivals seen dozing in their cars aren’t sleeping off a hangover, but merely early birds catching a parking place. With more cars than parking places, SC has a rather severe parking problem; it’s sort of like gambling or cards where only the crafty win.”

Annenberg TV News, a live nightly newscast produced entirely by students, is an outlet for USC’s aspiring journalists to develop skills and high standards in newsgathering and production while covering local, national and international stories of importance to the USC community. Away from commercial influences, students resolve the ethical dilemmas of daily news, defend the ideals cultivated in their classrooms and obtain the hands-on experience that will prepare them for the professional world. Many ATVN graduates work in local and network news operations all over the country.

In the spring of 1999, a grant from Hollywood director Robert Zemekis (”Back to the Future,” “Forrest Gump”) provided funding for a state-of-the-art digital training facility, the Robert Zemekis Center for Digital Arts, where Trojan Vision operates.

In 2006, Trojan Vision was invited to join the USC School of Cinematic Arts. The station provides its staff with a hands-on learning experience in all areas of television, as well as the opportunity for student work to be seen across the city and beyond.

The station, which airs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is an important training ground for students from all USC programs. Programs are produced exclusively by students and are broadcast to the entire campus community on Channel 8, reaching more than 29,000 students and 18,000 faculty and staff daily. Trojan Vision reaches more than 1.8 million homes with availability throughout Los Angeles on LA@36, on the Rancho Palos Verdes, California cable network and on the Open Student Television Network.
