When I first walked into the radio
station I was not exactly sure what to expect. This was something that was recommended
to me, and I needed to gain some experience in the communication field. This
was not the typical radio station as it had three separate channels instead of
only having one. There was a lot to this place as there were not just places to
go on are, but also sections dedicated to sales work, filing, and other
different kinds of work. When I was given the tour to the place I noticed that
there was lots of equipment needed to keep the place working properly and the
back of the station was like one big system of machines. I knew that I still
had a lot to learn, but I also knew that this was work that I could do.
I witnessed much of the work that the
other employees were doing and started to get an idea of what was required. The
set ups of the stations usually had two computers, a mic, a sound board, and a
head set to name the basic materials that were used. Sometimes the person
running the station would go live, while other times they would be organizing
what would be playing on the station whether it would be music, announcements,
or something else. Being on the air is easily the most recognized job in radio
and it is one that requires not just hard work, but also a personality to go
with it.
