Looking For Volunteers to Host:(show titles subject to change)
|
|
- Noon News program (1hr/day w prep time). You may do one day a week, or do all 5!
- “Veteran’s Voice” - Recorded interviews with soldiers from the Vermont Veteran’s Home to air once a week approximately 15 minutes in length. Show host will need to set-up, conduct and record interviews and learn how to edit them for play-back. Time is flexible as shows will usually be pre-recorded.
- “Youth Speak Out” - An opportunity for young persons from elementary school right up to college age to express their concerns, ambitions, their place in the community. Show host will need to coordinate with all schools in our broadcast area and arrange to have a contact person in all of the school who will act as an intermediary to arrange student interviews. Can include teacher interviews as well. (1/2 to 1 hour long)
- “Your Advocate” - Consumer advocacy covering all types of purchases from homes to automobiles to investments as well as how to recognize misleading advertising, use of couponing, unit pricing and what measures consumers can take to avoid being taken advantage of. Could bring listeners up to date on all of the latest scams circulating on the internet and by telephone. Extreme care needs to be exercised by show host so as to avoid any possible litigation for any unsubstantiated claims or accusations against any product, service, company or individual.
- Miscellaneous - The programming committee will consider and review any and all other suggestions made by our listeners and volunteers. All shows must meet station and FCC guidelines. Training will be provided for any new show host that will include control board operation, on-air techniques, how to conduct a proper interview and other important matters including proper structuring of your show and how to follow a show clock. Also subject to review by programming committee.
