phantom are hiring for a launch this summer www.phantomfm.com

unfortunately I'd say there are a lot of people with the same ambitions. I would recommend that you tarket small community (or College) radio stations first. Once you gain some experience you could push for the larger stations

Indeed. The problem is that I've not got any training or experience and need to get some. Ballyfermot does an 8 week evening course but I don't know whether it is any good or not and I missed the last enrollment.

Why don't you just set up your own internet radio station dude ?

Go pirate, dude.

Sweetie - there's one very simple solution for people who would like to get on radio but have no experience - community radio. CR focuses on access and participation. You learn on the job really. Three things however - -you won't get paid -ideally, you'd want to understand the station's ethos and understand that having a local angle on your show generally is (a) a good idea and (b) far more worthwhile. -if you're looking to present a show with a ultra-commercial sound then don't be surprised if the station tries to encourage you to do it more naturally. Basically, people think they understand community radio and its goals when they don't, really. There's more to it than meets the eye. Every station has its own rules. Tell me where you're based and I'll tell you which station is closest to you.
