    HI Jackie - this is really informative. I like the idea of prepping. Actually, i host a morning show on radioguyana in Guyana, in the Caribbean and your tip on prepping has helped me quite a lot. I have gotten quite a lot of positive reviews since i started prepping. Thanks for the tip.

    I've been in radio about 37 years now. I come from the small stations of years ago where the music was on 45 RPM Records, Cartridge Tapes that look old 8 Track Tapes we play commercial spots on, etc. I love the new technology! We can voice tack a five hour show in twenty minutes, or a satellite network takes care of music and personalities (D.J.s). What WGRD and many stations are doing is right and saves money in a sluggish economy. Most posting will attack me, but if we went back to the old ways, stations would go broke.

    This is how to be a presenter, not a DJ. This is what happens when you have to get a college degree to be on air talent. I have over twenty years experience in radio, voice over and club DJ'ing and never took a class in college to learn how program my playlists, how to carry on a professional broadcast, etc. My PD's gave me free reign over my show so long as I didn't cost them listeners and advertisers. And most of the time, I wasn't working the prime time slots. You might as well just pipe it in from wherever and add your own commercials from time to time like Clear Channel or ESPN.

    So sad...no hard copy music...no creativity...you don't even get to pick the music on your own show. They don't even need live people in the studio at all. In fact in the early morning hours, I'm betting there aren't any - just the robot. Sad. Commercial radio is so lame. College and public radio is were it's at. LIVE DJs 24/7 who get to program their own shows from start to finish as well as helping to break new artist and support local music. THAT'S REAL RADIO!!!

      You don't need a degree. I would seriously rethink this as a career choice unless you are completely dedicated to it... like you just HAVE to do it. I worked in Radio, and was dumb enough to go to a broadcasting school. All that did was cost me a ton of money for nothing. Just go hit up whatever station you want for an entry level job if you really want it bad enough. But it IS a horrible industry to work in, and you're not going to make anything even close to what you would need for it to be worth it. The pay is terrible. It can be fun, but it's one of the most unstable jobs you can have. The turnover is ridiculous, and you get fired a lot. I know people who have been fired and re-hired and fired again at the same station like 4 or 5 times. Also... it's all about the internet now for radio. At any actual radio station these days, there's only a very small number of people working at them... maybe 4 or 5... and the place is usually a dump, and the equipment is shit. Regardless... they're going to pay you the wages of a 14 year old working under the table. Anyway... just think long and hard about it. You're bachelor's degree is enough.
