WMIC and WTGV-FM have an on-going internship program with Sandusky, Marlette
Peck, Croswell-Lexington, and Carsonville-Port Sanilac schools. All interns have
been paid for all of the time they learned as they worked. These programs are
designed to assist qualified students in acquiring skills needed for employment in
the broadcast industry. Many of these former interns go on to various colleges and
pursue Radio and TV careers and some have come back to work full time here at
Sanilac Broadcasting.
New for 2022-2023, WMIC and WTGV-FM introduced a paid internship opportunity for area high-school students with a focus on Broadcast Journalism. The internship offers structured guidance from WMIC’s News Director, as well as a hands-on opportunity for students to gain real-world experience in the newsroom. Croswell-Lexington student Katherine Conlee was selected for the newsroom internship position.
Following the conclusion of the internship, Katherine Conlee was hired to a part-time board engineer and on-air talent position on WMIC and WTGV-FM.
