 DESCRIPTION OF ESTABLISHMENT
TVC News Communications is a 24-hour television news
channel owned by Continental Broadcasting Service Nigeria
Ltd., based in Lagos. The channel airs on British Sky
Broadcasting Group Plc (BSY) in the UK, Naspers Ltd.
(NPN)’s DSTV and Startimes in Nigeria, and Multi TV in Ghana.
One of the goals of the network is to offer a different
perspective to many foreign media stereotypes about Africa.
 MY EXPERIENCE
During the program I was in the engineering department
which was sectioned into
 Electrical Section
 Outside Broadcasting Section
 Ingest/ Link room Section
 Maintenance Section
 ELECTRICAL SECTION
I was involved in the soldering and de-soldering of some
connectors to its cables like; I connector, F connector, BNC
connector, XLR connector, power connectors
 ELECTRICAL SECTION
Electrical tools I used includes;
• Plier
• Soldering Iron
• Spanner
• Screw Drivers
• Tweezers
• Wire Strippers
 OUTSIDE BROADCASTING VAN
I was taught on how to deploy and stow an outside
broadcasting van (OB) during transmission
OUTSIDE BROADCASTING VAN
 OUTSIDE BROADCASTING VAN
The following are the Steps
in which OB van can be
Deployed and Stowed;
• Switch on the circuit
breaker inside the
vehicle after which the
generator had been put
on.
• HPA is the first equipment
that will be put on from
the circuit breaker and
all other equipment
 OUTSIDE BROADCASTING VAN
• Setting the parameters on
antenna control unit; press
the enter key and it will take
to you to some options
where you will find deploy.
• Click on deploy and the
dish will automatically
deploy gradually until it
reaches the maximum
elevation,
• Begin to pan the azimuth till
the signal is achieved

and spoilt bulb in the studio, offices, security post, canteen.
• Rolling of audio and video cables to its normal position after
used.
• Changing over from Ikeja Electricity to generator during
power failure or vice versa.
• Cleaning of the outside broadcasting van before and after
transmission had been carried out successfully.
 RECOMMENDATIONS
In as much as the training was beneficial to me I still
recommend that some factors be put into consideration for
the SIWES to be a better program;
• I recommend that schools engineering workshop should be
better equipped so that they can have a lot of equipment
which will better help the student in their practical
experience.
• I recommend the school should also assist in getting
industrial attachment for student to avoid starting the
training late
 CONCLUSION
My experience during the period of industrial attachment was
an enlightening one. The SIWES scheme is indeed an
innovative concept and looking back I feel honored to have
worked at CBS I got to perform work relating to practical
application of what I had learnt in the classroom and even
beyond. It was a bit of a challenge the first few weeks and I
really thank Almighty God that I was privileged to be given
the chance to learn in CBS
