Turn on & Turn in
Lots of universities in Great Britain have their own radio stations. Students who are studying media courses or hope to work in the radio industry usually run the stations.
Three radio stations entertain local people and the students by playing all the latest music and chart hits. They also review band, films and new CDs among other things. They also inform the students about all the news on campus and in the local area.
A radio station needs several people to run smoothly. Firstly, there’s a DJ who presents the show and plays the music. Then there are journalists who write and report the news. A technician or engineer is always there in case the equipment break down. Lastly, the producer organizes everything and controls the show.
Working for a radio station is good for those involved. Students gain practical experience that may help them find a job in the future and at the same time they make new friends.
