Radio and Broadcasting

Radio enters a new era, with Internet podcasts and satellite shows; however, these still build on the roots of traditional radio broadcasting. Here, we take students back to the basics, to the heart of radio production. Students learn all aspects of a radio station – how to work a sound board, how to create a set list, what it takes to be an on-air host, and the business aspects of radio.
All sessions cover the same material and are appropriate for all students.

Our FACITIES and WNTI 91.9
Centenary College boasts a full-powered, NPR-affiliated public radio station – WNTI, 91.9 FM. Students have the chance to use professional equipment and sit-in during live shows with radio show hosts and studio guests.

PUBLIC SPEAKING and ON-AIR PERSONALITIES
We help our students develop the skills and confidence that on-air personalities use to communicate with all types of audiences. We listen to and talk with a number of radio hosts to learn about their methods, and then students try their own shows.

SO YOU WANT TO HOST A RADIO SHOW?!
Hosting a radio show is much more than picking out music. Most radio stations depend on a loyal audience of listeners and advertisers to support their work. Radio show personalities, targeted playlists, carefully choreographed sets of music and talk, studio guests and bands, and the business side of building a station are some of the major aspects of radio work that students learn about and practice.
