April 9, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cherbourg’s community radio station 4UM 94.1FM is buzzing with activity.<\/p>\n

The station has taken on four trainees this year thanks to a grant from the Department of Education, Training and Employment.<\/p>\n

Three of the trainees are undertaking a two-year traineeship in broadcasting, while the fourth is learning all facets of administration.<\/p>\n

Two of the broadcasting trainees – Shane Dynevor and Andy O’Chin Kajewski – are school-based, and currently spend one day each week at the station while they complete the rest of their studies at Murgon State High School.<\/p>\n

The third trainee – Miranda Fisher, 18 – is at the station for four hours per day after completing her education last year at boarding school in Toowoomba.<\/p>\n

Administration trainee Marcia Carlo works part-time every Monday to Friday. She is working towards a Certicate III in Administration under the supervision of station manager Jeanette Brown and her assistant Luella Blair.<\/p>\n

The broadcasting trainees are under the supervision of 4UM’s broadcasting trainer Michael Monk.<\/p>\n

Michael has more than 20 years experience in commercial radio and television, and says he’s genuinely excited about the progress his students are making.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Modern broadcasting is a very technical exercise,” he says.<\/p>\n

“Virtually everything – including scheduling the day’s programs, songs and ads – is set up by computer.<\/p>\n

“Modern radio control consoles can look as scary as the controls on a 747 jumbo. And when you start feeding in outside shows the complexity can seem mind-boggling.<\/p>\n

“But we are steadily taking all our trainees through a structured course developed by Brisbane’s radio 98.9 FM and their Triple A Training division which will show them every aspect of how to become a competent, 21st century broadcasting professional.<\/p>\n

“When they finish their course, they’ll be receiving a Certificate III in Media which will allow them to go and work in any commercial or community radio station they like.”<\/p>\n

Mike sets up tasks for the students to complete in accordance with the course’s training modules, then walks the trainees through them.<\/p>\n

Other 4UM broadcasters also lend a hand from time to time when required, giving the young trainees the benefit of their many years experience in community broadcasting.<\/p>\n

The station itself is now fully recovered from damage caused in the 2013 floods and has returned to having two fully-functional studios.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This allows trainees to get experience in one studio while the station broadcasts its daily shows as usual from the other.<\/p>\n

“4UM plays a major role in the Cherbourg community,” Mike said.<\/p>\n

“It also has a lot of fans outside Cherbourg in our broadcast footprint area.<\/p>\n

“And I think the standard of radio coming out of the studios would compete on an equal footing with many capital city stations.<\/p>\n

“So it’s really nice to be able to groom a new generation of radio presenters right here, too.”<\/p>\n
