LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Students interested in sports media at the University of Kentucky will soon have a new production and research space.
The new space will be inside Rupp Arena.
The 20,000 square-foot studio, production center and research center will allow students to work alongside UK’s media and marketing teams.
“We’ve been training students in broadcasting and media production for more than 70 years in various spaces across the campus,” said Jennifer Greer, the dean of UK’s College of Communication and Information. “This space represents a significant step forward in providing a collaborative place where our educational programs can be taken to the next level through an innovative partnership with athletics and the university’s media-rights partner, JMI Sports.”
This is in partnership with UK Athletics and JMI Sports.
The space comes as UK launched a sports communication pathway the Communication and Journalism departments.
Greer said the college anticipates beginning to use the studio in Fall 2023.
