DOWNLOAD SYLLABUS

This course is a four-week, self paced introduction to terrestrial radio broadcasting, concentrating on the fundamentals of the programming aspects including the equipment, rules and regulations, and voice performance techniques. Graduates of the class will have the opportunity to volunteer at KANW and will gain essential knowledge and skills utilized in the broadcast industry. I’m Kevin Otero and I will be your instructor for the course.

The class is open to the general public and at no cost to APS high school students and New Mexico Highlands University students. For general public students, the fee of $200 is due prior to class beginning on January 6, 2025. General public students can pay online at www.kanw.org (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover).

Students are expected to attend and complete each session. Upon successful completion of the online class portion, students will have the opportunity to train in person at the KANW broadcast facility. While at the facility, students are required to comply with KANW’s Station Policy and Student Conduct Policy.

KANW Station Policy: Alcohol, drugs, tobacco, e-cigarettes, firearms, and weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited on the premises. Food and drinks are not allowed near the broadcast equipment. Students are allowed in the KANW studio during approved class time only.

Student Conduct Policy: Mobile phones and other electronic devices must be turned off or silenced during in person training. Raise hands for questions, maintain silence and do not offer critique of fellow students during training exercises. Fighting, bullying, and harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Please show common courtesy to fellow classmates, instructor, and KANW staff.

There are corresponding quizzes with each session's topic. Students must score an 80% or higher on each quiz to advance to the next session. A comprehensive grade of 80% or higher is required to pass the course and have the opportunity to train in person and ultimately volunteer on the air at KANW. There will also be various radio listening assignments that are also required to be completed before advancing through the course.
