It's a sorry ass industry that passion talent and brains get you zero. The people are pathetically awful this is why artists and musicians just can't stand radio people they're jerks by nature. Awful sorry arrogant people.
Great video! You look like someone who truly wants to help. I respect that. I’m not much of a radio personality but I am a great dj. How would I be able to reach the radio scene?I’ve reached out on emails and no response what exactly should I be showing them? I’ve sent links to my TH-cam page! that is really the only thing I can do. Do you have to be a emcee guy to be in the radio? Can it just be mixing music? Need help man I’m from orlando fl it that matters 🤷♂️ 😃
Hi there Corey, Thank you for the awesome video. Anyone who wants to get on the radio should listen to this. I just started representing a radio personality who is in the Radio Hall Of Fame. He was an anchor on the leading radio news station in a top 5 market in the U.S. For about 7 years then the station was sold. I need help in finding him work. Corey, I do not know where to start. He can do any type of radio from news to disc jockey and talk show host. Can you please help me??? I am so impressed with your video I am surprised it has not gotten more views. Please do more. Thank you so much in advance. Take care and be safe. London
I have a question. I like to record myself doing the morning sign on an evening sign offs for different types of radio stations. Is that something to s stick in an air check package?
Do you need a fcc series 3 license to broadcast on radio like it used to be decades ago? Does broadcast magazine still exist? It was a place to go to read classified and send a demo tape ( yes, tape, reel to reel, I am "older" ) I went to announcer training studio's nyc in approx 1969. Thanks for the informative video!
I have been in radio on and off in the radio industry. I fell in love with it. I haven't been able to work to work at the radio station in a few months,. I'm not able to do manual labor anymore because of my disabilities with my feet. I had planned on getting a Bachelors Degree in Media Communications. I had been told that it could help me with other jobs just in case it didn't work out in the radio industry. I love radio it is truly all I want to do the rest of my life. What are your suggestions? Thank you for all of your help.
Right now it is really hard because of COVID. No one is hiring. I would just suggest to reach out to your local stations and just make contact with them and start building a relationship/making contacts. Best of luck!
Hey Corey, I'm a board operator who wants to be on air one day. I have a quick question..... How would you recommend networking when most people are working from home? It was a lot easier when the offices were filled with people.
Hi Corey awesome video I'm really trying to get my foot in the door as well I never get any response from any of my local radio stations I haven't done a fake air check yet is there anything you can help me with?
I'm an advocate of getting a degree so you can set yourself up for success done the road if radio doesn't work out. If anything I would say get a minor in communications and major in something else such as business. If the school you're looking at offers hands on training versus book work, even better.
How can I become a Radio Mix show DJ? (And get compensated for it). I have a lot of experience DJing, however I am having a hard time being able to receive compensation for it. I've been on the radio, been in clubs, worked with many up and coming artists, make edits, remixes etc. But I can't find a break through on landing a position within the radio. I've thought about purchasing all the stuff myself but if I do that how can I get the return on my investment? I'm like 90% sure I can completely get it up and running but being able to generate a livable income off of it, isn't something I know how to do.
Hey thanks so much for this video! I'm trying to get my foot in the door right now could you point me in the direction with putting together a resume for something like this I've always bartended or served I'm a musician that feels called to this career atm
Radio is a creative industry, so make your resume different and not so cut and dry. You need to do something to get the attention of the person hiring.
Just depends on the position, go to the websites and the employment/career page and usually they have it listed. Or go to the major companies websites to see the job postings and what they require.
There are few real personalities today. Mostly bland "news readers". Stations do not have a high enough bar for talent and mostly just put on "warm bodies". So, there's never been a better time to get into radio if you have little talent!
Great video! You look like someone who truly wants to help. I respect that. I’m not much of a radio personality but I am a great dj. How would I be able to reach the radio scene?I’ve reached out on emails and no response what exactly should I be showing them? I’ve sent links to my TH-cam page! that is really the only thing I can do. Do you have to be a emcee guy to be in the radio? Can it just be mixing music? Need help man I’m from orlando fl it that matters 🤷♂️ 😃
There really are not positions nowadays for mixers on air. Basically those few spots are done by the personalities already with the station. Out of all the stations/markets I've been in only Atlanta had mixers for their Saturday night shows and those people had been with the radio station for over 5 plus years.
I am so excited I got my foot in the door! Today is day two of training at 5 stations! You are spot on. It is all about "who you know"
Best of luck!

Just got my last piece of equipment to start a podcast and start getting experience. Great video
Awesome! Practice makes perfect, have fun!
Thanks for all the info Corey!! Keep up the great work! Cheers from Canada! BOOM!! 🔥🔥🔥

wonderful skit for young aspirants
I have a question. I like to record myself doing the morning sign on an evening sign offs for different types of radio stations. Is that something to s stick in an air check package?
You want your audio to be about 1:30 minutes long showing off your personality. Stay away from sign on/offs and weather and things like that.
i want to know if any of these people got on air,also great video a lot of information
This was very helpful. Seriously, thank you so much!!! :)
Do you need a fcc series 3 license to broadcast on radio like it used to be decades ago? Does broadcast magazine still exist? It was a place to go to read classified and send a demo tape ( yes, tape, reel to reel, I am "older" ) I went to announcer training studio's nyc in approx 1969. Thanks for the informative video!
You do not need that now.
Great video! What degree do you recommend ( other than communications)?
Thank you.
Hi there, glad I bumped into your video. Will creating a demo help out my foot in? Also will it be advisable to post it to social media direct?
Depends on the quality of the demo, if it’s really good definitely post it to social media. You never know who might happen by it.
I have been in radio on and off in the radio industry. I fell in love with it. I haven't been able to work to work at the radio station in a few months,.

Hey Corey, I'm a board operator who wants to be on air one day. I have a quick question.....
How would you recommend networking when most people are working from home? It was a lot easier when the offices were filled with people.
Got to work with what you have, email and social media. Basically just get the conversation going and let it build into something.
Hi Corey awesome video I'm really trying to get my foot in the door as well I never get any response from any of my local radio stations I haven't done a fake air check yet is there anything you can help me with?
What degree would you recommend then? If not communications or do you just think a degree doesn’t matter?
I'm an advocate of getting a degree so you can set yourself up for success done the road if radio doesn't work out. If anything I would say get a minor in communications and major in something else such as business. If the school you're looking at offers hands on training versus book work, even better.

@@coreyonradio654 hi how do I get in touch or contact with you outside of TH-cam regarding radio station opportunity
Thank you!
I would like to know what i could submit to possible get an internship or network
Just depends on the position, go to the websites and the employment/career page and usually they have it listed. Or go to the major companies websites to see the job postings and what they require.
How can I get on your radio?
Info please
How do you keep from being annoying and stay in the persistent zone?
Just be you and don’t fake it. People want authenticity.
There are few real personalities today. Mostly bland "news readers". Stations do not have a high enough bar for talent and mostly just put on "warm bodies". So, there's never been a better time to get into radio if you have little talent!
whats your email? very interested
