Volunteer for a Studio Production

There are lots of CMAC members creating shows in the studio, and no one does it alone. Volunteers are needed for each and every production to run the cameras, direct the show, run the switcher, or simply roll the teleprompter. Here are some shows that record regularly; contact the producer for more information.
