Fairchild Radio Open House
Today is Fairchild Radio’s open house day. Fairchild Radio is Canada’s most listened to Chinese radio station. Actually they have more than one stations to target Cantonese and Mandarin listeners in different major cities in Canada. Today’s open house in Vancouver is to promote its radio hosting classes that are coming up in July. Every year they put up classes around summer time to train potential future radio hosts. If you live in Vancouver and wants to get professional training from Canada’s #1 Chinese radio, then visit their website at am1470.com.
Want To Be A DJ?
There’s another session which trains you to becoming a radio news reporter. I am totally not interested in becoming a news person, so I only filled out the radio host training registration form. It costs $10 CAD to register and also need to attach a 4R recent photo. I have no idea what 4R means but I guess a 6×4 is good enough.
My First Radio Commercial
During today’s open house, a professional radio hosts showed us how it is like to talk and mix for radio. It was fun and I got to record a short commercial as demonstration. My first ever radio commercial was very choppy and embarrassing. The demonstrator said it’s very good for the first time. Hopefully the training class will teach me how to record a perfect commercial.
Registration Ends On June 14
The whole courses should last for about 7 weeks. The cost is $265. There is going to be an exam at the end and if you can show good potential, you get to go on to phase 2 of the training and a step closer to becoming a professional radio host.
