The Peach City Community Radio Society is hosting a free training session this Saturday from noon to 4PM at the Penticton Museum. Society President Cameron Baughen says, “The station has been developed as part of a month long exhibition celebrating the history of broadcasting in Penticton. Our mandate is to create a community radio station run by volunteers and to train local residents on radio production and showcase them on air and on line. This will be the first limited duration broadcast the Society has ever hosted”. Sessions include field recording and interviewing, using cell phones as recording devices, using audio editing software, on-air announcing basics and a ‘Radio 101’ course for new members covering rules and regulations of radio broadcasting. And each Saturday in June, the Society will be broadcasting from 10AM to 5PM from the Museum at 94.5 FM with local volunteers producing shows on a variety of subjects and interests. The DJs will be part of the exhibit and society members will be on hand to explain how the broadcast works. The official opening of the Penticton Museum’s new exhibit ‘Celebrating the History of Broadcasting in Penticton’ is scheduled for Thursday, June 9th.
