They refer people to me and other radio stations. So I think what they do is good. If you don't have the opportunity to go to a school with a broadcasting department, I don't think that's a bad choice. I think it's a good thing to intern at a radio station. Because once you're in the building, it's so much easier.
Most companies like to hire from within.
One intern we had, she started as a courier, then went into the promotions department. And we have a couple of interns that have worked on the morning show that have learned production. One guy is trained to run the board, and can maybe do some air shifts. So an internship is great if you can get it. It's not so easy to start in a big market like Atlanta.
