KRNM has, and will continue to serve as, a training facility for those interested in pursuing interests in Radio.

KRNM’s three studios are equipped with state of the art equipment, allowing students and volunteers the opportunity to not only broadcast live, but also to produce Public Service Announcements, promotional messages, or pre-recorded programs to be aired at various times throughout our schedule.

Trainees can learn about various aspects of a radio station, including:

Production - the fundamentals of recording techniques and instruction on operating Reel to Reel, DAT, Cart, Cassette, as well as other digital and computerized equipment.

Trafficking - the day to day scheduling of a station’s programming, from spot placement to musical formats.

News - an introduction into reporting, including the process of interviewing, gathering actualities, writing, editing, and reading news stories.

Sales - the constant necessity of generating revenue, from grant writing to soliciting donations through pledge drives and fund raisers. Instruction on script writing, as well as how to prepare and deliver a successful pitch to a business to receive a contribution or underwriting sponsorship.

Disc Jockey - how to run a show, from mastering a console to improving on-air skills.
