Studio Helpers
Behind every live Request Programme is a Studio Helper: sorting the
dedications, pulling the music and keeping the show on air.
What you'll be doing
Each Studio Helper is assigned to a particular night of the week and, together with the Presenter, puts together that night's Request Programme. It's a varied role that finds you doing all manner of tasks to get the live shows on air.
Sorting requests
Sort the requests and dedications sent in by the Request
Collectors, plus the ones emailed and phoned in.
Pulling the music
List the music needed from the record library
and help the Presenter compile and order the
programme.
Suggesting tracks
Presenters often mark anniversaries or special occasions with
themed music. A good knowledge of music means you can suggest
extra material for the show.
Keeping things running
Answering the phone, putting records away correctly and
leaving the studio ready for the next programme to go on air.
This role is for you if you…
- Are interested in radio and how a show is put together
- Can be at the studio regularly, once a week from about 7.30pm to 10.00pm
- Are competent with basic computer skills – searching online, reading emails and so on
- Know a little about many types of music – you don't need a vast knowledge, but some is helpful
- Are a good team player
From the team
“I feel an essential part of the team as the Presenter just doesn't have the time to answer the phones, get out the records and make the tea!!”
