Television and Radio Studio
Claiming perhaps the most plentiful array of colorful buttons and switches in the School of Creative Arts is the department of Media Communication. Housed within the Harral Arts Complex are KWLD Radio and WIN-TV, Wayland's student-run broadcasting outlets. Both stations exist to serve the community with family oriented, Christian programming and as a training ground for students of media communication.
KWLD is a low-power radio station broadcasting to all of Hale County. Student DJs get behind the mike in a radio studio to deliver news, weather, live sports, and the most current and popular contemporary Christian hits. The versatile studio spaces allow for a wide variety of live programming to be broadcast, and a mobile unit allows for live remote broadcasts and community engagement. Up-to-date automation systems provide content for the tens of thousands of listeners when a personality is not on duty.
WIN-TV, a FamilyNet affiliate, delivers quality programming with family values to Plainview and surrounding communities' cable television systems. Broadcasting from the spacious studio and master control suite, WBU's television channel provides a wide array of network and local interest programs.

WIN-TV also produces and streams all home sporting events with a mobile production unit capable of providing high-quality video, graphics, and live audio from our on-air commentators.
