To keep this short and sweet, this 'book' does contain decent information. For the price however, you are basically getting 5 pages of text nicely formatted into a 50 page, double spaced booklet. I would recommend this to youths who know little to nothing about the radio industry, but teens and above can easily find this same information on the web.

Jack Broady's book On-Air is a wealth of information. He tells the inside scoop regarding the in's and out's of how to land a job in radio. I followed his advice (Method 2) and got a job offer in a week. I am thrilled to say the least. This book is worth every penny and I highly recommend it to anyone considering an "on-air" career.

This book is not the end all be all of getting a job in broadcasting, but it gives some helpful tips that you may not know. It is very basic and beginner for people who just need some advice about where to begin on the search. It's a hard career to break into, but you have to start somewhere. If you have a mentor I wouldn't buy this book as you will get the same advice from your mentor.

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He really like it because it gives the reader basic information and terminology you need to know in the field and gives the reader great ideas for how to get opportunities to be on air.

Written by 17-year veteran of radio broadcasting Jack Broady, On Air: The Guidebook to Starting a Career as a Radio Personality lives up to its title, succinctly covering everything an aspiring radio personality needs to know. From four straightforward, realistic methods for landing one's first job at a radio station, to the most valuable rules of radio, industry lingo explained, tips for performing one's best, and much more, On Air is an absolute "must-read" for any and every would-be radio professional. "Here is the secret that has started countless careers for on air personalities and is the first lesson in 'paying your dues.' YOU MUST BE WILLING TO WORK FOR FREE. This is the only sure way to gain instant employment with no experience. It is very difficult to get your first job at a radio station if you are not willing to make this sacrifice." Highly recommended.

Creo que este es un excelente libro para todos aquellos que tienen un gran interes por participar como locutores en una cabina de radio pero no saben como entrar. Me uno a los que piensan que hubiera sido excelente tener este material hace algunos años, nos hubieramos evitado tantas malas experiencias. Pero si tu estas con ese deseo interno de ingresar a una radio no dejes de leer este libro y de aplicar con disciplina los consejos contenidos en el.

No esperes un libro lleno de erudicion...yo lo califico como un sencillo mapa que te guiara por los senderos que te llevaran tarde o temprano a la meta deseada: Ser una personalidad radial.

Jack Broady's book is absolutely the most informative, clear-cut book for gaining employment into the highly competative field of radio personality/broadcasting. His 17 years of obvious experience shows in this step-by-step process on how to gain access into this very exclusive field of becoming an on-air personality. This invaluable advice is a MUST BUY for anyone even considering breaking into the field. I mastered in telecommunications and film, and learned more in the introductory paragraph of Jack Broady's book, than in the last three years of college. This book has given me the inside scoop and most importantly, a foot in the door of an otherwise unattainable industry. Melinda Stone.
