Q: How do I get a birthday announcement on BT Celebrations?
A: Celebrating a birthday? Please send your pictures and information to us really, really early! It is best to send in your pictures two months in advance. Please do not call – this will not speed up or help the process.

Q. Do you have internships at Breakfast Television?
A. Yes, we do have internship opportunities at BT. We only consider students at the post-secondary level of education. They must be studying Radio and Television, Media, Journalism or Broadcasting, and the internship must be part of their school curriculum. There are a limited of unpaid production and digital internship positions available per term.
Each term is four months in duration, from September to December, January to April, and May to August. Both production and digital positions require a commitment from the student. These positions are full time, five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for production internships and 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for digital internships.
The internships are focused on live, multi-platform production–broadcast and digital. The day-to-day pace is a hectic one and requires students with maturity, initiative, and enthusiasm.
Should you fulfill the requirements and wish to apply for one of the positions, please forward a resume and cover letter indicating which term you would like, as well as the student placement officer’s name and phone number.
Applications for the digital and production internships are now open.
