Course Description:
Radio Broadcasting I-1/2
Do you have something to say? Do you want to call that ballgame? What about hosting your own radio show or podcast? Are you a larger-than-life personality or do you want to become one?
Less than 200 high schools have on-air radio stations, and the Area 31 Career Center is one of them with 90.9 FM, WBDG. WBDG is a FCC-licensed on-air radio station broadcasting to the Indianapolis area and the world through phone apps and the internet. In this course, you learn the basics of radio station operation, disc jockeying on-air, and putting together radio programming. Much of the emphasis is on live on-air performance, but that’s not all that happens here. If you’re more comfortable behind-the-scenes, there are opportunities for you. In addition to performing on air, students learn the basics of podcasting, audio editing and production, announcing, voice acting, and broadcast writing. Our scholars compete in state and national competitions. They also have the opportunity to specialize in areas such as play-by-play sports announcing and analysis, social media, and radio programming. Scholars who take this challenge learn time management, how to work independently, how to take initiative, and how to grab opportunities and move forward.
Dual credit offerings are subject to change at the discretion of postsecondary partners, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, The Indiana Department of Education, or the Indiana Office of Career and Technical Education.
