Radio producer
(Redirected from
Producer (radio)
)
A radio producer oversees the making of a
radio show
. The job title covers several different job descriptions:
- Content producers or executive producers oversee and orchestrate a radio show or feature. The content producer might organize music choices, guests and callers for a talk radio show or competitions, timings and overall show content.[1]
- Creative producers, imaging specialists or imaging producers ("Imaging" in the radio business relates to commercial bumpers used on the same station to promote the show). [2]
- The board operator or technical operator operates the technical controls—such as radio studio by a window, which allowed visual contact while blocking noise. With quieter switches and better directional microphones, the producer and the controls may be at the same table as the on-air talent(as shown here) without adding unwanted sound to the product.
Many radio stations and radio networks have a production director who oversees the above responsibilities. This individual or a production staff may do the production work for many shows or many stations.
