If you’re a transition year student, or you have transition year students, in Kilkenny or Carlow then there’s a radio opportunity available at KCLR later this month.
The annual TY Media Week is back, taking place this year from 21-25 October at the studios in KCLR. The Learning Waves initiative is picked up by radio stations all around the country across seasonal work experience windows for second-level schools.
With limited spaces available, it’s a chance to gain insights to the workings of and hands-on experience in a radio station environment and, in our case, we cover everything from news and sport to music, programming, studio production work, engineering setups and more.
Students will have a chance to prepare and record their own shows, conduct interviews, and learn about the processes involved in preparing and delivering news bulletins and shows, sport shows and live commentaries, outside broadcasts, music selection, scheduling and everything else we can fit into a week. Those taking part will work alongside the station editor, journalists, engineers, presenters and producers to get a real flavour of the inner workings of life in radio.
Having already held one TY Media Week in February this year – more details on which you can find here – applications are open for our October week right now.
Submissions, from students attending second-level schools in Kilkenny or Carlow, can be made here at kclr96fm.com.
