Our students work with News Channel 32 in Toccoa
learning various aspects of news reporting, production and editing
in a region that covers much of northeast Georgia. Students have
the opportunity to earn 3 credits while interning at the station.
WNEG
is the CBS affiliate for Northeast Georgia. Along with CBS programming
and some of the top syndicated shows, NewsChannel 32 produces 2 1/2
hours of local news, weather and sports programming a day. NewsChannel
32 is the only source for local television news in the area.
The news operation uses the latest technology to
gather information from sixteen Georgia counties, upstate South
Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina. Our sports department
focuses on local high school and college sports, including Clemson
and the University of Georgia. During football season, WNEG covers
the high school teams every week with "Friday Night Under the
Lights," a show featuring scores and highlights of all 27 teams
in our area.
WNEG has been a leader in defining Northeast Georgia
as a cultural and economic region. WNEG, by reaching out to the
business and civic elements of the communities we serve, has fostered
the regional concept that will provide the infrastructure to bring
planned economic and cultural growth to the area.
