What’s 
in 
this 
part:
o
There’s 
a 
quick 
overview 
of 
the 
UK 
radio 
landscape 
and
the 
different 
broadcasting 
platforms 
and 
the 
stations 
which
don’t 
actually 
broadcast.
o
An 
outline 
of 
the 
ups 
and 
downs, 
the 
qualities 
and
qualifications 
of 
good 
presenters 
and 
producers, 
and 
an
explanation 
of 
what 
they 
do 
and 
how 
much 
they 
earn.
o
Then 
I 
take 
a 
look 
at 
the 
station 
as 
a 
whole: 
the 
other
people 
you’ll 
be 
working 
with, 
the 
importance 
of 
the
station’s 
name 
and 
branding, 
how 
it 
makes 
its 
money
and 
who 
we 
do 
all 
this 
for.
