Our students have served as on-air guest hosts and helped with marketing and booking guests among other duties. IGS has a long history of partnering with radio stations to help students discover the joys of the airways. This a great way to immerse yourself into local cultures. We work with both traditional and non-traditional stations. Some of our independent stations may feature local artists and under-represented communities. As such, there is a real opportunity to learn about the challenges people face through the lyrics of their songs.

The stations we use conduct on-air interviews with performers. Get an up close and personal view of what it takes to break into the local music scene. You will wear a lot of hats to help make a station thrive. Our students have helped with booking on air talent, event planning, digital marketing and updating social media pages. The feedback we have had is they really enjoy the staff.
