Hubbard Radio Talent Institute Today
The second annual Hubbard Radio Talent Institute at Central Washington University in Washington gets underway this afternoon. Today’s opening session will feature Ginny Morris, Chair and CEO of Hubbard Radio, and Hubbard Radio President Drew Horowitz will close the Institute ten days from now with the session, “Now Is The Time To Start Thinking Like a Pro.”
During this ten-day course, some 30 broadcasters will teach sessions on almost every aspect of radio, including on-air, production, promotions, digital/social media, engineering, news, sports and sales, with each student being certified as a Radio Marketing Professional by RAB. Students from universities in the state and region will learn from radio pros from Hubbard, Bonneville, Alpha Media, Entercom, Townsquare Media, and others. The students will also be the live studio audience for the Mornings with Alan and Ashley show from Hubbard Radio AC KRWM (Warm 106.9)/Seattle, broadcasting live on campus at the Institute.
Morris commented, “Compelling and relatable on-air talent is what separates local radio from all other audio entertainment services. Our investment in the National Radio Talent System at Central Washington University is an extension of Hubbard Radio’s commitment to do our part to nurture and grow the talent pipeline for the industry. We are proud to partner with Dan Vallie and his team in this important initiative.” Individual broadcasters, groups or organizations who would like to join the National Radio Talent System™ in establishing and sponsoring a Radio Talent Institute™ on a campus in their state and region should contact DanVallie@NationalRadioTalentSystem.com, or call 828-262-1502.
