The Producer is responsible for delivering their show across distribution platforms (Comcast, streaming, and highlights to Sentry Media) and providing timely show notes to the General Manager and AMC Director. Finally, the Producer proposes and submits shows to the AMC Director for award consideration. Producers must be familiar with the AMC Student Media Handbook, upholding RMU and department policies to ensure access to experiential media learning for all members of the RMU community.
