ive been let down in my last 3 weeks of work experience at a certain radi station.
They were fnastastc but i got a real insight into what really happens...Discovering that (for example) in a 3 hour show, the dj might only be LIVE on the mic for about 10 mins...just for the actual travel.
Even the bits where people were calling in for 'chats' was pre recorded.
EVERYTHING is pre recorded....even the ''im here at the blahblah hospital in blah''.
I was quite surprised

What station is that mate?
Pretty much everything here at Bright is done live. Sometimes calls are recorded, purely for safety purposes.

I wont say them at the moment just as i have another few weeks left! but ive been in the news department and it feels like its the only bit live.
I don't doubt that most on bright is live, i infact applied for work experience there aswell but no spaces left unfortunately.
Ill happily accept a job once i graduate in a few months though

Our current news editor has a new work exp person every week!!
So if you want to do some work here give him another try.

I certainly will once my dissertation is out the way. I imagine i will just need to keep getting experience before i can start handing in a cv which will appeal. especially as im not to interesting in the presenting, just the news writing/conducting interviews etc etc.
I make a mean coffee aswell....

Excellent. I've never heard it, or of it for that matter until you started posting here, but it's going on the work experience HITLIST. Sorry to hijack your conversation chaps, you may continue now
You clearly want to f***ing FIGHT for this work experience don't you?
Why don't we take this outside and have a vox pops battle....or you too scared?

You will probably have a good degree of success, I just hope we can work better together in the flesh than the way we do on here!! lol

Well, personally, I've always felt we work rather well on here. My favourite people always have been those that disagree with me and think I'm a knob. So, working on that basis, you're perfect
If you want to go into broadcast news type stuff, look at trying to do a postgrad in it as it's tricky to get into the industry these days without one. As for the station - my guess would be southern FM.

Seems that most radio stations go on & on about how their audience figures are up then they chop & change schedules & presenters.
I did get to like Juice for a while, especially when Terry garoghan had the breakfast show, then they dumped him and, in my opinion, many listeners.
BBC SCR (Snooze) has changed so many times over the years. it's at it's best when it concentrates on being local and back to it's Brighton roots, but, once settled, changes again. It's still head 7 shoulders above the rest for local news & sport.
Southern bucks the trend because it's almost the same blandness since the day it started.
As for Chris Evans, I wish the self important prat would drive home...and not come back again. DJ hell would have the likes of him, Moyles, Reid & Edmunds. And 'kid' Jensen, what team is he supporting these days?
