Pupils will be keen to supply records and CD's. There is a copyright charge for the Broadcasting of recordings to the Australian performing rights association. Your membership of the School Broadcast Network will cover this. Music will now be broadcast in full FM stereo. You won't have heard huge station promotions for its frequency, or seen light aircraft pulling its advertising banners.
Rebuffs come in variety of styles, from the pleasant refusal to the distinctly rude.
Those who will support school radio station in hard times are few and far between. Still, sales are made, and commercials are written, recorded and broadcast. A bunch of school kids maybe, but these students are getting valuable hands-on experience. They've all discovered there's a lot that can go wrong, that's not just a matter of blithely putting on records. The DJ's get to choose their own selection of music from the station library, supplied largely by commercial record companies and augmented by individual style on air, both in the choice of music and presentation.
