On campus, Ryan serves as president of Penn State Network Television (PSNtv), one of the largest student-run television stations in the country. He helps oversee the station's seven professionally produced live shows and more than 325 active members, trains new members and supervises studio and control room operations while also contributing both on-air and behind the scenes.

Ryan also created At The Desk, a politics and crime roundtable show for PSNtv inspired by NBC's Meet the Press. As producer and host, he led six hours of live election coverage during the 2024 presidential election, including roundtable analysis with political commentators and interviews with Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna E.
