Located in central North Carolina in the Piedmont region, the cities of Raleigh and Durham anchor a metropolitan area of over a million inhabitants. They also form two parts of what is known as the “Research Triangle” (Chapel Hill forming the third), named in part because of three large research universities: Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State. Predictably, education and research are a significant part of the area’s economy, not just from the schools themselves, but also from a large research park that serves as home to a number of technology and bio-tech research facilities.
The Raleigh-Durham area is ranked as the 24th largest DMA for television, and the 42nd largest radio market as ranked by Arbitron. Whether your interest in radio is as a radio DJ, talk show host, sportscaster, station manager, programming director or other career, this area offers much in the way of real-world learning opportunities. And while most ordinary radio schools simply train you in classrooms, the Radio Connection actually connects you to the real-world opportunities this area provides.
How do we do it? Through our revolutionary mentor-extern approach, we place you as an extern inside a real radio broadcasting facility, pairing you with a seasoned radio professional who trains you on-the-job with one-on-one instruction and mentoring.
