R9- Careers in radio

I learnt that there are many jobs in than radio industry most of which we cannot see there's more to radio than just the voices on air e we hear.

1. First of all is the presenter- they're the people who entertain us, hold interviews, discussions.
2.A blogger the person who controls the social media and websites linked with the radio channel.
3. Promotion director who makes sure there their colleagues and everything they need is in place for the day, for example: this person may allocate certain roles to specific people. They also handle any e-mails in regards to promotion and take further action in needed. This person is like a human diary for scheduling and timetable of staff.
4. Programme director who takes care of- promotion, production and programming anything that is to do with the radio name this person is in control of.
5. Production director, this person hands spots out assignments which are then pitched to a client (through a sales director). A production director's role may also include script writing, picking out music for a potential show.
6. There are also roles in radio in journalism, whereby journalists present their news on the radio.

This has helped me enhance my knowledge of the different types of roles in the radio industry. It's made me realise that there are 2 companies (radio station and client) working together in synergy to produce a newscast. The most interesting thing I found is that there is a sales director who goes out promoting to clients to came on their show.
