“Be A DJ...or Just Sound Like One”
     This four-week class covers the
 basics of radio broadcasting in a
 music-intensive format.
     Topics of interest include:
       -Music programming basics,
           such as formatting, artist
           separation and music flow.
       -Operation of professional
           digital and analog broadcast
           and recording equipment.
       -Preparation of pertinent local
           content for live breaks.

           as articulation, inflection,

     This class is presented as an extension of the WCTV Cable
 Radio project, which is in the process of producing an enhanced
 background audio stream for the Community Bulletin Board seen
 on WCTV’s Public Access Channel, WCTV-P (seen in town on
 channel 9 of the Comcast system, and channel 37 on Verizon’s
 FiOS TV service).
     The class is taught by Bill Robert,
 WCTV’s Operations Manager who, in
 addition to his experience in cable
 and broadcast television, was an air
 personality on commercial radio for
 17 years. In fact, Bill runs his own
 internet radio station in his spare time,
 broadcasting both automated and live
 fare via the Live365 service.
     The current class is now running
 from October 23 to November 13, with
 a second class planned to start in
 January of 2008.
