2NVR conducts introductory weekend training sessions for anybody interested in becoming a presenter Nambucca Valley Radio.
Community radio gives you the opportunity to have a media voice and presence, and to introduce others to your views about news, music, arts, crafts, sports, religion, pets, or any of potentially thousands of other interests and ideas.
Course Dates: Saturday March 15, 2025 & Sunday March 16, 2025
Time: 9am till 3 pm (approx)
Saturday
Covering: introduction to community radio broadcasting in general, ranging from important technical aspects about being on-microphone and on-air, through to the specifics of broadcasting at 2NVR, such as show construction, audience considerations, dos and don’ts, the legalities of broadcasting, rules imposed on us by the Australian Media & Communications Authority, and more.
Sunday
Covering: Any leftover legals & theory. Practical studio sessions on panel (not on-air), plus interview & recording techniques and tips, preparing your radio show and other practical issues.
Other Details:
Location: 2NVR Studios, 834 Rodeo Drive, Tewinga, 2449

If you are not already a member, you can join on Saturday morning. We will have forms. The annual individual cost is $20. Family membership (2 adults and multiple children) is $50 per annum. Please note that we don’t accept personal cheques.
