Communication Interests: Radio and Television Broadcasting

The broadcasting industry consists of radio and television stations that create content or acquire the rights to broadcast certain programs. Programs include from news programs, movies, talk shows, and advertisements. News programs are typically produced in their own studios, but most other entertainment is produced separately from the broadcasting industry. Most of their revenue is made by selling time slots for advertising.

The stations signals are transmitted from their studios to local stations or cable distributors. Anyone with a radio of television can receive these signals in the area they are being transmitted.

People who work in this field work crazy hours. Employees usually specialize in certain fields, such as program production, news related, and technical, sales, and management occupations.

Prospects look good for this field of work, especially in larger cities.
