Description of Activity:
During each tour, the troops were given a tour of each of the broadcast
studios with an explanation of each format. They also toured the
newsroom. They were able to record their voices and then play it back to
see how they sounded. The tour guides talked about the various jobs
available in radio, not just what they hear on the air. Our own Jobs in
Radio piece designed for the tour groups was handed out sharing a brief
description of the various positions available.
