Callan McClurg and meteorologist Karlene Chavis on CBS News 8 (San Diego, CA)
graduate
Callan McClurg (San Diego, CA) isn’t shy when it comes to seeking out opportunities to learn, network, and further grow his knowledge of broadcasting and announcing. In late July, Callan reached out to CBS News 8 KFMB’s chief meteorologist Karlene Chavis who, upon connecting with Callan, followed his “career adventures across the web” by reading
his blog and learning of his work as a sports announcer on the beat in San Diego (announcing for five of Point Loma Nazarene University Athletics’ teams, the San Diego Gulls Hockey Club, University of San Diego Athletics, and more).
Karlene then extended an invitation for the hardworking, self-starter to come in and shadow her and the rest of the team at KFMB Channel 8 during their 5:00pm and 6:30pm newscasts! While there, Callan got to meet anchor Barbara-Lee Edwards as well as sports director Kyle Kraska who graciously shared some career advice
and his contact info. Go Callan Go!

Kelsey Murobayashi is finding out just how much hard work goes into making movie (and commercial) magic. Nevertheless, he’s up to the challenge:
“I’ve been learning many things about the film business but the main things that stick out to me are the amount of mental and physical labor involved in making a flashy car commercial or celebrity special, and the number of hours, days, months spent writing and rewriting screenplays so they flow just how you want [them] to. It’s tough but I enjoy what I’m doing.”
