Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Have general knowledge about a radio station
2. Will be able to define the concept of radio production and know the rules of radio production.
3. Will be able to identify the job definitions of all the staff working in the production department (e.g. producer, programmer, programme host, dj, editor etc.)
4. Have general knwledge about the broadcasting, montage and production studios.
5. Will be able to name programme types and differentiate live and recorded broadcasting.
6. Experience making a radio programme.
7.Share the experiences of famous radio programmers.

Course Content

Course Content (English):
The course covers essential information about radio stations, the concept of radio production, job definitions of production department staff, broadcast editing and production studios, as well as the differences between program types and live versus taped broadcasts.
