There are several things that a radio jockey should keep in her mind like timings, proper operation of the transmission consoles and  the  good synchronization among the compering of the RJ'S, the songs being played  and the level of the voice of the spoken words and the music played. let me share experience of mine with you  friends, one day I had my duty in AIR FM Shimla. One of my RJ friend  was with me.Our transmission was about to be closed and my friend was doing the last show,  I told her to bind up the program and say  the closing line because we were running out of time. she understood and tried to bind up her show.she told in hurry her lines but what I noticed , she did not gave her mike feder. Mike feder is the key on the transmission console that take your voice outside  the studio to your radio or mobile or transisters.The scence made me lough but I could not lough loud just closed my mouth with my hands. my friend also started loughing when I told her with sign that she was wasting her voice not giving feder. After the transmission, we loughed very loud. with the incident , i learnt that we should tke care of time when we are on air. She told me not to share this incident with anyone else. But I could not remain without sharing with you. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......Don't share with anyone else......Sunte Rahiye Muskurate Rahiye....AIRFMShimla ke saath sirf 103.7 MHtz per.....

It is said that time is a good teacher, we learn with the passage of time. Every individual get across to some moments of life when s/he thanks to God for having lessons of life. Let me  share my experience of working in the AIRFM Shimla which u can tuned at 103.7 MHz. This station is situated at 103 near Chaura Maidan  at District Shimla of Himachal Pradesh. you know there are certain things beyond the bookish knowledge despite of being the student of Mass Media, I committed lots of mistakes while performing live on FM Shimla. I realised those mistakes and learnt a lot from my seniors. There is a rule or  trend that those who are above the age of 35, they act as Duty Officers . the role of duty officer is to monitor the broadcast to see whether the voice of the RJ, songs,  timings of the ad spots,all ar e going smoothly on radio, without any silence.or if there is some urgent broadcast from the main Delhi Station which has to be relayed by that radio station. the Duty officer would have to inform the presenters or RJ on duty. one day i had to make an announcement of the Delhi relay , although I made the announcement, but the duty office said that the announcement wcas not audible instead only silance was there on radio for the duration of the announcement. I was not able to understand, what was wrong. then the Engineer came into the Studio and observerd me while announcing, he taught me that if your needle  on the cons fp it in mind when speaking on the mike. That was a lesson for me. there are several other learnings from AIRFM Shimla, but that is all for today. Rest of the memories, what  I  learnt from the duty officers ....I will share with you.....some other time.......Sunte Rahiye Muskurate Rahiye......103.7 AIRFMShimla ke Saath.....
