I want to be a radio broadcastor when I grow up, but how?!


Question:

I want to be a radio broadcastor when I grow up, but how?

Like the title says, I want to have my own radio show and be the host. I think it would be an interesting career. I'm in Grade 11, so how can I achieve this ambition?


Answers:

Perfect! You're old enough to start doing some internships. The radio station where I work brings in a lot of 11th and 12th graders. Talk with your guidance counselor at school first, then start sending letters and making phone calls to the various radio stations in town. Most interns get used on the promotions end, so I would suggest trying to get a hold of the promotions director. They'll get you out doing street team work and it's a good way to get to know the people around you. Once you're on board, take the time to get to know as many people there. Any free time you should spend it at the station, even if you're not scheduled. When you're there, don't just pal around... pay attention to what people are doing, ask questions, and be bold enough to ask people to show you things sometimes. There's usually a few people you'll meet that will be willing to take you under their wing if you show them you're serious about a future in radio and that you're willing to put in the work. Beyond that you could get a 4 year degree in communications or you might decide to go to a 1 year broadcasting school. If you're really lucky you'll catch on quick and might not even need to go to college. Be prepared to start at the very bottom and work your way up! No one starts as the host. Good luck!
