Sports Writing intern

UCLA Radio is looking for Fall 2026 Interns! 

Use this application to creatively show us how you would be an active member of UCLA Radio. Be yourself, and have fun with it! The goal of this application is to get a sense of who you are and how you could uniquely and originally contribute to the station. We are looking for interns with enthusiasm and new ideas for improving how we use our platform!

Please be aware of the commitment involved with joining Radio. For Fall Quarter 2025, interns will be expected to attend mandatory intern meetings on Monday evenings from 7-8 pm, attend regular department meetings and UCLA Student Media workshops, all-station meetings, and other potential events/socials. There will also be regular creative, station-related tasks and projects. Most interns find all of these engagements fun and rewarding, but if you don’t have the time, please consider applying in a future quarter! If you are accepted, we will expect that you attend the first intern class on Tuesday, October 13th.

You may complete two applications maximum. If you are accepted as an intern, you will not be required to stay in the department you applied for after intern quarter. Radio members are encouraged to explore all departments fully, and switch or contribute to multiple if they wish. Members of any department are welcome to have a show on-air.

The Sports department promotes and analyzes a large number of sporting events in Southern California and creates a diverse weekly programming schedule that includes interviews, podcasts, and live coverage. The department also has a sports broadcasting program, where members have the opportunity to broadcast UCLA games live while developing their play-by-play and color commentary skills. We are credentialed with LA Galaxy, LAFC, Lakers, Clippers, Bellator, WWE, US Soccer, PAC-12, and the UCLA Bruins.

NOTE: All new UCLA Radio members are considered “interns” during their first quarter, regardless of department. The designation of intern or staff on each application is arbitrary; there is no difference.
