WRITING THE RADIO SCRIPT
Lay out the information in a document

FIRST - Pick a Topic - Think about your audience and pick something that is worth our time. Keep it appropriate for the audience.

The FORMAT - the way the show is organized and staffed.
Hosts/Anchors/Mediators/Interviewers/Guests

SECOND - You have an INTRO (Music clip?, Your name, The Station's call letters (ex. - “KWGM”), name of your show...and include what's coming up in the show!)

THIRD - ORGANIZE the information
Use an outline format and set up the show by putting the text into sections based on the amount of time they take to read.
MARK ALL TIME IN THE SCRIPT FOR EACH READER AND SECTION OF TEXT
(There should be a theme that remains present throughout the show if possible)

FOURTH - All transitions are present
For each change in topic or new part of the show please give an opinion, a comment or a transition to ensure that the listener is still with you. You should exist in the show...you are the host/DJ and shouldn't dissappear in the show.

FIFTH - You have a “clean” CONCLUSION - wrap up your show and introduce the next show.

SIXTH - REHEARSE!!! - on your own
Polish the show in self rehearsal and make sure it is ready for the air - no breaks in the show.

TIME your presentation - (3 minutes/to the sec)
