Program Overview

So you want to become a radio announcer or DJ? What about learning how to produce content for the next most-talked-about podcast? Or how to become a voice actor for animation and videos? The Radio, Television, and Broadcast News program’s Radio major is your ticket!

Gain valuable, hands-on experience by performing on SAIT’s Campus Radio Station, saitradio.com. You'll go on air as a radio personality, learn advanced multi-track digital audio production, and gain extensive, industry-level training in creative writing, promotional planning, and execution.

Graduates of the Radio program are on the air in Calgary and all over Canada as DJs, producers, writers and voice-over talent. Even Howard Stern hired a SAIT Radio grad to be the Imaging Director and Head Sound Designer for his two stations on Sirius XM!

This program involves two years of full-time study. Each of the program’s two years is divided into two semesters. Each year, there is a single intake, with classes commencing in September and finishing in late April. A four-week industry practicum is completed in the fourth semester.
