Our Prairieland CEO students had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at WCIA 3 today! Meteorologist Jacob Dickey led our group on a tour of the station, giving students a firsthand look at what it takes to bring a newscast to life.

Along the way, we met producers and other members of the team working behind the scenes, as well as reporters and anchors Stu Ellis and Katie Moore and Meteorologist Ian Kowalski.

A big thank you to Jacob and the entire WCIA 3 team for welcoming our students, answering their questions, and sharing a look at the many different people and careers that come together behind the camera and on the air!
