Radio presenters must have strong communication skills to speak confidently in front of audiences. They need to be able to think on their feet and handle unexpected situations, while also multitasking between equipment and instructions. Presenters work closely with producers to deliver scripted or unscripted content within the show structure. Producers manage all aspects of pre-production and performance for their show. This includes researching content, managing budgets, and occasionally presenting or interacting on-air. Sound technicians operate technical equipment to record, mix and amplify audio, ensuring sound quality meets standards through communication with presenters and producers.
