| Other high school and college students will have a unique opportunity to
learn about sports broadcasting when WNBC-TV's Bruce Beck and New Jersey Nets announcer Ian Eagle conduct their
3rd annual Sports Broadcasting Camp from July 26-30, 2004 at the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center on the campus
of Montclair State University. |
| The Bruce Beck & Ian Eagle Sports Broadcasting Camp will allow students,
male and female, 14-and-older, to learn about game preparation, writing and interviewing skills, sports talk radio,
the differences between radio and television calls and on-air presentation. Lectures, field trips, daily visits
from big name New York area broadcasters and practice assignments lead up to the final project of calling the July
30th Newark Bears minor-league baseball game. |
| An advanced camp for returnees is offered that same week through a partnership
with the Montclair State Broadcasting Department. Professor Larry Londino and Madison Square Garden Network's Mike
Quick guide campers as they use professional equipment to create their own five-minute sports report, complete
with graphics, opinion segment and on-camera interviews with members of the New York/New Jersey Juggernaut, a new
entry in the women's National Pro Fastpitch League. |

at WNBC-TV since 1997. He also works on NBC's coverage of the NBA and hosts the Rutgers University football and
basketball coaches shows. |
| Eagle has worked for the last nine seasons as the New Jersey Nets television
voice. He also works for CBS Sports on its coverage of the NFL, along with college football and basketball, and
hosts sports talk shows on WFAN. |

campers who are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cost is $625 and more information is available
