Career Callout: Broadcast Engineer

On our episode last week, we went to Radio Row at Levi Stadium. We met Brynna Rodgers, the first woman to broadcast engineer a radio show for the Super Bowl.

Broadcast engineering plays a vital role in keeping tv and radio stations on the air, making sure audiences receive news, sports, and entertainment clearly and reliably.

They must be skilled in operating, maintaining, and repairing equipment such as cameras, audio boards, transmitters, and editing systems. They must follow all the latest tech and often work under tight deadlines, especially during live newscasts or on-air events.

The average salary for a broadcast engineer in the United States is around $63 thousand dollars a year, depending on experience and location.

We sat down with Tina Kocab, a senior broadcast technician at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ to answer your questions!
