Independence Primary School Students Tour Channel 5

Around sixty excited students from Independence Primary School had a fantastic tour of Channel 5 this morning. The young visitors arrived at around 10 a.m. and got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the variety of programmes that Channel 5 produces are prepared before hitting the airwaves, including Open Your Eyes, KTV, Summer Fest, and much more.

The students also gained insight into the process behind the evening newscast at 6 P.M. and the newly launched News at Noon, which airs daily at 12 P.M., and the preparation of Channel 5’s first Spanish newscast, Noticiero 5 Semanal, which airs every Friday at 7 P.M.

Two lucky students even got the chance to sit in the news anchor’s chair and experienced the thrill of reading the news firsthand.

Throughout the morning, the students met Channel 5’s dedicated staff—from reporters to producers, audio technicians, editors, cameramen and graphic designers—and even met CEO Marleni Cuellar.

At the end of the tour, the students had learnt the importance of staying informed, the power of teamwork, and the hard work that goes into producing award-winning content. The visit left the students inspired and eager to explore the media industry, with some dreaming of joining the Channel 5 team in the future.
