WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
WOLV TV is the University of Michigan’s completely student-run television station. We’re sponsored by the University of Michigan’s Department of Film, Television, and Media (FTVM), and we’re located in the North Quad Complex on Central Campus. Founded in 1994 by three students: Danny Schwab, Scott Doyne, and Jeff Holzhausen, WOLV TV has evolved from simply covering Michigan Ice Hockey games to producing ten different shows and even partnering with the Big Ten Network to live-broadcast a range of Michigan sports!
Where do our new members fit in? Everywhere! Each show successfully functions because of its crew. Crew members start at WOLV by being taught to operate a camera, run the TelePrompTer, mix the audio, run the switcher, edit highlights or packages, write scripts, conduct live interviews, or whatever job the show needs to run smoothly. We highly encourage new crew members to try many of these positions. Then, if a crew member decides to apply for a producer role and is selected, he or she will be responsible for passing on their knowledge to their new crew members.
