Magazine Radio Program

A magazine radio program is made up of different program segments with distinct content. To complete each segment of the radio program, you will have to complete different tasks using selected tools.

The attached PDF is a grid with suggested program segments, times, associated tasks/tools, the roles and output for each segment.

Each team member will have an important role to play as part of the production team.

Project Roles

To produce the program, there should be:

• A Producer: coordinates show lineup, assigns stories, responsible for overall program

• Reporters: research and write scripts for stories

• A Technician: gathers, records and edits sound

• Host(s)/Announcer(s): presents show segment(s)

However, everyone should be part of the live role-play of the radio program: Reporters present their own pieces live; Technicians play all of the taped audio; and the Producer might become the live host or announcer.
