Whitney High School Delivers Award-Winning Broadcast Media Program with Wirecast
This case study by Telestream explores how Whitney High School in Rocklin, California, features an exceptional broadcast media program that has gained national recognition. Under the direction of teacher Ben Barnholdt, students produce “Unleashed,” a professional 15-minute daily newscast that has evolved into WCTV19, a community television station broadcast on campus, local cable channels, and social media platforms.
The program began eleven years ago with minimal equipment and budget but has grown substantially through creative fundraising, grants, competitions, and donations. Students gain comprehensive broadcasting experience by managing every aspect of production, from writing scripts and creating graphics to operating cameras and directing live shows. Telestream’s Wirecast software forms the backbone of their production workflow, enabling professional-quality broadcasts with features like chromakeying, graphics integration, and streamlined distribution. The program recently expanded with a 25-foot broadcast trailer for remote productions at sporting events and community activities.
Beyond technical skills, students develop teamwork abilities and professional work habits, arriving at 7 AM to prepare shows that are ready by 9:07 AM. The program has received numerous accolades, including US Education TV’s Best Overall Network and the Student TV Network’s Excellence Award for Best Daily Taped Show. With an “Ohana” (family) approach that balances healthy competition and mutual support, graduates have successfully entered college media programs or secured professional media positions, equipped with valuable digital communication skills applicable across various career paths.
