Rehearsing lines and offering support were two of the activities that took place before the taping of a new television show produced by Northeastern students. The Communication Studies Club debuted its television show, “Our Boston,” on Wed., May 7. The show was a great step in the life of the club, which has only been on campus for a year.

The broadcast, which was co-anchored by club members Dayin Chen and Mike Krentzman, contained information about upcoming events in the Boston area, as well as features on Boston restaurants, bands and other commodities in the city. Featured in this episode was the soul food and jazz restaurant, Bob the Chef’s, located on Columbus Avenue. Entrepreneurialism at Northeastern was also recognized when the founders of 6 one 7 Productions, Sal Boscorino, a senior at Northeastern, and Ace Gershfield, were interviewed in the studio. “Our Boston” signed off with a performance by the rock band Raymond.

While the restaurant feature was airing, the crew was quickly rearranging in order to set up for the interview with Boscorino and Gershfield. This segment was unique because it exemplified how young people can start a flourishing business, and love it.

“I thought the show was great,” said Boscurino.

His business partner agreed.

“Any advertising is good advertising, and it’s even better when can help out our friends at the same time,” said Gershfield.

A portion of the televised event was a performance by Raymond. Unfortunately, due to time restraints, the band’s clip was cut in the middle, creating a sense of confusion in the studio.

President of the Communication Studies Club Erika Erb is confident that in the future things will improve.

“Since it was our first show we did encounter some technical difficulties, but with each airing we will be able to improve the show through experience,” said Erb.

Neakai Lewis, a member of the show’s committee and crew, said, “I was really proud of our first show. As a freshman, its cool to get hands-on experience. I haven’t even done a co-op yet, and I’m already learning how to use equipment.”

“These students have done this all by themselves, and have done it well. I am impressed with the student energy, especially with president Erica Erb,” said Alan Zaremba, the advisor to the Communication Studies Club and an Associate Professor in the Communications Department.

While the road to airing a television show has not been an easy one, the Communication Studies Club has been able to successfully broadcast due to the hard work and dedication of its members.

“The members of the club have worked extremely hard to get this program off the ground.” Erb said.

The next meeting of the Communications Studies Club is on Mon., May 19 at 7 p.m. in 325 Shillman Hall.

“I am really pumped to get the show going. It’s good to see this finally happen,” co-anchor Krentzman said of the production.
