Radio Talent and Production Program

Students in the RADIO TALENT AND PRODUCTION PROGRAM will learn to operate professional radio equipment, use “Pro-Tools” to pre- and post-produce material for radio programming.

Students will operate and produce CENTRO’s radio webcast, including news, sports, music, public interest, and entertainment programming.

With Satellite Radio, Internet Radio, High Definition Radio and Podcasting as new forms of audio, the industry is not only expanding the potential for listening beyond traditional radio, but also opening new job markets for those individuals trained to operate and create programming to satisfy this new era of radio.
