SOUND of the STATION
The primary responsibility of the On-Air Producer is
to provide programming that reinforces the format
and goals of the station. That includes:
1. PACE; maintaining a pace means checking yourself
to ensure that your on-air segments are not too long
or too short.
2. CONTENT; the content of a station is what you
say and play. It sounds obvious, but it isn’t as easy
as it may seems.

SOUND of the STATION
3. ANNOUNCING STYLE; radio speech now reassembles
conversational speech. Announcers are expected to convey
the impression of one to one communication with the
audience. To do that effectively, radio personalities must be
well versed in the taste, interest, and a life style of the
audiences that station want to attract.
4. BLENDING THE SOUND SOURCES; your blending
sound sources depends on your station pace.

Satellites can perform this function because they are geostationery
(parked over the equator in an order that is exactly synchronizes with
the earth rotation so that the satellite always maintain the same
relative position to the ground.
•PROGRAMMING FROM SATELITE; contain many types of
program material, such as:
– Music programming in various format, networks that provides
speciality programming in part time or full time talks, and
