Overview

Conestoga College offers an exciting two-year Radio Broadcasting program. Once complete you will be a multi-skilled graduate that may find a career as an announcer, news anchor/reporter, creative writer, producer, promotions and social media professional, marketing and sales representative, podcaster, or digital media entrepreneur.

You will learn from broadcast professionals, in small classes that focus on hands-on learning and practical theory. Within the first few weeks of the program, you will be working in the studios, learning critical skills with specific attention to on-air performance, announcing, audio production, creative writing, research and interviewing, news presentation, sales, marketing, and promotions.

Our facilities feature state-of-the-art digital audio studios, providing you with the opportunity to learn on equipment and software used currently in the industry.

In addition to an internet streaming station (Q2), the program features one of the largest college radio stations in Canada, 88.3 CJIQ FM. In the second year, as a radio student, you will call upon your first-year skills in broadcast performance, technical operations, news and creative areas to become fully immersed in the operation of the stations and their online presence. Both operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and give you a real-world experience.

A field placement opportunity is also provided in the last semester. This is a great opportunity for you to meet more industry professionals and make contacts for potential employment upon graduation. For students who want to go further, the School of Media + Design offers a graduate certificate in Broadcast Performance and Digital Media.
