I throughly enjoyed our second class at the RRR station. It was great to get a tour of the station and studios. Walking around made me realise what a fantastic opportunity this class was providing us with.
We met Elizabeth and Archie and got a feel of the environment. Elizabeth’s run down of what was expected was useful to get a better understanding of what was ahead. The biggest point she made for me was that RRR presents things from a scientific perspective. These strong details of the station made me feel somewhat nervous as it is a much stricter environment than I was conditioned to previously on radio.
Archie ran over the panels and operating systems. The most daunting part of that is the computer 2 system that holds what sponsorship announcements we had to play and our RWAV themes. I’ve never used a system like that before so that might take some practise to get used to.
I’m looking forward to going back in and booking some studio time to refresh my memory – it’s been a year since I presented on air and used a panel.
I am really looking forward to getting back into radio and learning about the station.
