Topic: Radio announcer


  
  Announcers
Announcers often are well known to radio and television audiences and may make promotional appearances and remote broadcasts for their stations.
Announcers usually begin at a station in a small community and, if they are qualified, may move to a better paying job in a large city.
Many announcers also must entertain their audience, so their work is similar to other entertainment-related occupations, such as actors, producers, and directors; and musicians, singers, and related workers.

Dickson said after being in radio for so many years, she was a little apprehensive about teaching.
Radio didn't always make Dickson happy, though, and she took a huge risk in 1996 when she left her broadcasting career to study law at the U. Although she enjoyed studying law, she says being a practicing lawyer was just not natural for her.
