April 8, 2008 Off By Jason


If you’re a broadcaster or writer who got your start working on Robert Morris University’s “Colonial SportsCenter,” the school would like to hear from you.

The 30-minute student-produced program, which airs on the university’s in-house cable network, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with a special broadcast at 7 p.m. April 18, according to a news release.

The show can also be seen via Comcast cable “on demand” in the Moon Township area.

Alumni are invited to join students and faculty on the Moon Township campus for a reception one hour before the broadcast.

“CSC” includes highlights of Robert Morris sports, news and interviews, and commentary, and has served as a training ground for journalists from around the country, including Ryan Recker of KVOA-TV, Tucson, Ariz., and Matt Alvarez of WCMH-TV, Columbus, Ohio.

Past honors for “CSC” have included a “mark of excellence” award from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2004, according to a university spokesman.
