Announcer Course 2019

Did you know that PBS has an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusiveness? In an effort to keep removing barriers for participation at the station for women and GNC people, we wish to invite women and GNC to apply for our PBS announcer course.  There is a fee to cover the costs, but if you've been thinking that you'd like to learn to plan and make radio it might be worth your while. We're running 3 remaining classes for 2019. As you know, PBS106.7FM is a community radio station devoted to playing specialist and under-represented music, so if it’s your dream to be an announcer, consider undertaking the five-week introductory announcer course. 2019 dates, rates, more info and the application form can be found here.  If you've got any questions, please email mara@pbsfm.org.au.
