Day 1 at my Internship at the Wiz 97.9

Today was the first day at my internship at the Wiz 97.9. I was kind of nerves as I walked into the station, I didn’t know what to expect. I had to arrive at the station at 6:30 a.m. and I stayed there until 10:30. As I walked in and greeted Ms. Alicia G, she was wearing a coat and a hat and I was wondering to myself why she is wearing all that inside the building. As I continue to walk in the station, I then relieve why she was covered in so much appeal. It then hit me; it was sooooo cold in the back of the radio station. She warned me that it will be cold everyday so come dressed for the weather inside the station, she joked.

I finally got passed the coldness and was ready to learn the ins and outs of the radio station. I was surprise to find out that the radio station was syndicated, which mean I was not going to see any of the on air personality. I was disappointed because I want to be an on air personality, and I wanted to watch them work in their environment.

Ms. Alicia showed me how to work the boards that control the satellite, and the computer system (in which I forgot the name). To my surprise it was very easy to do the control board.  When then went in the other room and I learn how to edit and cut news breaks. This part was somewhat challenging but I know I would eventually get it.

The first day of my internship went well, and I look forward to learning more and conquering this thing called radio. Continue to follow me and this journey.
