Broadcasting Media (1 of 3)

When you think of Digital Media Arts broadcasting doesn't usually come up so I want to talk about broadcasting. I want to work a radio station as the on-air personality (DJ), Production, Program or director. It has a different type of work than others because you have to tell a story without visuals. This semester I have been making a bunch of stuff for our station (105.5) these things called sweepers. A sweeper is a 7 to 12-second commercial, when you hear the stations name or a sponsor for the station that's a sweeper. The don't take long to make but usually, you have to make a bunch at a time. This is a form of media that you don't think of its the conversation we try to have with a listener, the stuff we pump out to fill in the time between songs. It is all stuff to give you Information for the day in about 30 seconds and depending, where you work how to say it, we right almost a script for it. One thing I learned is you can never be too prepared the radio, might seem like it's just off the wall but it takes preparation. I will talk about the other type of broadcasting we do here at Huntington, News and how its part of media. then I'll explain the broadcasting in general.
