Antiques Roadshow Internship
WGBH is public service media for New England - on TV, radio, the Web, and out in the community.
We're the single largest producer of PBS prime-time and online programming, and a major source of
programs heard on public radio from coast to coast. We're a pioneer in educational multimedia and
in media access technologies for people with hearing or vision loss.
Department Description:
Antiques Roadshow is in its thirteenth season of production. It is the highest rated primetime
television show on PBS, with over 10 million regular viewers. This television show asks the public
to bring in their collectibles and antiques to production locations across the country. Thousands
of people arrive at our locations to have their items appraised free of charge. Selected items
are videotaped with an expert from one of the leading auction houses in America. This
"live to tape" production is in production during the summer and involved in pre-production
and post-production in the fall, winter, and spring months.
Internship Description:
The role of the intern on Antiques Roadshow will be as a member of the production team,
providing much-needed support in the production office. The intern will be immersed in the
environment of television production at WGBH. In the summer months, the intern will act as
liaison between the traveling crew and the in-house production staff: updating production
files as information comes in from the road, organizing and shipping tapes to the various
locations, sending out production schedules to the crew and generally assisting everyone
in the office. During most of the spring and fall, the intern will assist with post-production:
dubbing, organizing and logging tapes, research, joining the production team in weekly show
screenings and maintaining administrative files and databases. The intern will also have the
opportunity to attend an audio mix and/or sit in on a session with the editor.
Skills Preferred:
The intern we are seeking must have superior organizational abilities and excellent written and
oral communication skills. Interns must be able to work effectively both independently and with a
team of people in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. Familiarity with Macs and the Internet
as well as a general aptitude with computers is necessary. Television production experience is
very helpful but not always required; however, a strong interest in television production is necessary.
WGBH Intern Requirements:
- WGBH internships are open only to students enrolled in an accredited college or university.
- Internships are unpaid.
