Anyone ever hear of this school. American Broadcasting School?!
Question: Anyone ever hear of this school!. American Broadcasting School!?
Answers:
havent heard of that specific one, however lots of cities now offer broadcasting / audio engineering schools!.
The problem with these schools is a) they are pricey b) they overload a market where a degree isnt always necessary and c) alot of them focus mostly on theory and not actual real world experience, which will leave you outdated in knowledge in an already receding field!.
If you want to get into radio/ TV, its really not difficult if your willing to work odd hours on the cheap!.
I started as an intern (most station's websites will have a place to apply for street teams, internships, gophers, etc) and worked up!. Its not hard to get in as most stations are required to offer intern hours and are always looking for people to monitor nascar games, hand out key chains, and wear t-shirts at events!. Once you get in, bust your butt and learn as much stuff as quickly as you can, and youll get hired on!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I've heard of it!. I actually checked out their website once (can't remember it) - but found that you had to fill out any info of interest online!. I couldn't find a number to call!. They have 4 campuses and now offer online classes (which to me, doesn't sound reasonable unless you have all of the hitech equipment needed to actually learn on)!. For example, if you are interested in a radio career - how can you make playlists, work on a station, etc from home!?
also, the online classes and the land campuses go for much less time than a 4 year school - some of those classes are theory - which is to be expected!.
Not sure where you live but there are good schools for learning news broadcasting, radio, copyright, etc!.
There is a great school in Chicago called Columbia College chicago!.
Good luck!. Remember that the fastest route won't always benefit you!. I do have to say that I personally never saw the school or know of anyone who as attended it!. But many of my friends who went to Columbia in Chicago or Chapman or Eastman - are actually working in the field they want to!.

No, but if they have a website it should be easy enought to find - and if they don't, well!.!.!. let's just say they shouldn't be a broadcast school without one!.
I'll make a couple of suggestions as I've done in the past by posting the following essay about getting into radio!. As to schools, many high school magnet programs are excellent (I don't know where in life you are, so I'll start there)!. Many colleges and universities with broadcast programs exist!. Emerson College in Boston is one of the best and is run by a dear friend and excellent teacher!. The Bayliss Foundation (below) is also something to keep in mind!. Good Luck!

OK, here's my brief version on how to get in radio-in the US!. Take it from one who started this way!. If you want to try radio as a possible career choice, It's easy, really easier than most think!. Go to all the local radio stations and tell them you're willing to do anything for little or no money (at first)!. Including interning (though those are usually for current college students in a broadcasting major)!. In a big city, that's going to be more difficult than a smaller town, but not impossible!.
Maybe they need a Gofer, or a production or promotion assistant!. In the old days you used to be able to 'hang out" at a station!. That's still a possibility (usually at night) in a small town, but in a bigger city, it's hard because the stations are in office buildings!. Anyway, so maybe you get a Gofer or promotion assistant job!. Or maybe you're just the kid who hangs out and will go get burgers!. Then as people leave for bigger better gigs, you move up!. Radio's a very fluid business!. People move a lot!. Because the only way to really get promoted is to go to a bigger market!.
Give it a try!. You've got nothing to lose!. Study all the stations where you live!. Visit some of the websites I'll put below!. Go around to all the stations (obviously start with the ones where you like the music - but don't leave out religious stations, foreign language stations etc!. anything to get experience and something legit on your resume)!. Because you've studied the station and listened to their format, you'll impress them with your knowledge; go to the remote broadcasts and get to know the promotion people - the ones hanging banners, in the tent and handing out bumper stickers!.
Sooner or later someone will leave and you can say, "Hey, I can do that, I want his job now that he's leaving!." It's important you have a driver’s license & clean record, 'cause you'll be driving the station van!. Go 4 it!
also, many colleges and some high schools (especially magnet schools) have radio courses of study and there are private vocational schools like Columbia School of Broadcasting!. Emerson College in Boston is the premiere Media College in the US!.
If you are interested in a career in radio, check out this great scholarship program from the John Bayliss Broadcast Foundation!. It could mean $5,000 towards your tuition!

Maybe you can turn another skill, with accounting, traffic, or engineering into an off-air career!. Sales, though not as popular with young people, is a great way to get into radio even if you don't have a great voice!. You'll also make more money and work steadier hours - but it's not as glamorous!. Radio stations also need engineers, accountants and business managers!.
