We often receive enquiries about becoming a presenter on Basingstoke radio. If you would be interested in hosting a show on the station, we would love to hear from you. We are always looking for new volunteers & content!
As you will see from our Programme Schedule, we are interested in hosting a variety of shows of music genres on BCR. So it is possible you have an idea for a show in which we would be interested. However, what the listener hears in terms of quality and presentation style are the most important considerations.
If you tune into our station when shows are on the air, you will notice that the technical standard and presentation are both very high. Voice breaks are kept as tight and to the point as possible, while imparting useful information about the music, local news & events or engaging with the listening audience.
We have a mix of show presentation formats: some where listener interaction plays an important role and others where that does not apply but which nevertheless are fun and engaging. Just because a show is pre-recorded and where listeners cannot participate live does not make for a poor quality show.
If you would like to host a show on BCR, please listen to our station output. You have to ask yourself if you could deliver a show of the same presentation and technical standard as adopted by the other presenters?
-
Can you deliver the show at least once per week for the vast majority of all weeks in a year? -
Can you read a script of interesting information fluently with minimal stumbling? -
Are you prepared to help promote the station by volunteering at events throughout the year?
If you can answer Yes to all of the above, we would be happy to hear from you. Opportunities are available for live broadcasting, & voice-tracking. We offer a free training course which will enable you to become a production assistant on one of our shows, or perhaps a news presenter, & in time host a show of your own.
If you feel you would like be part of our team of volunteers, please send details of any broadcasting experience you might have and some information about yourself to:
