Internship in the WTTW licensing department offer college students the opportunity to explore the "business side" of the media industry while providing meaningful and practical experience.

The licensing department obtains the necessary rights, clearances and licenses for copyrighted elements (music, video, photos, etc.) used in WTTW original productions. The department is also responsible for licensing WTTW content (video clips, audio, photos, etc.) to outside productions. We license content for use in all kinds of media including movies, TV shows, commercials, exhibits, corporate videos, documentaries and more.
