Radio Days is a 1987 film directed by Woody Allen.

Before the net, many people rely upon the modest radio to provide their day-to-day dosage of information, amusement and vital weather updates. This was specifically true for bad or remote neighborhoods which didn't have accessibility to tv or various other methods of communication.

UNESCO officially announced the formation of Radio Day in 2011, after a tip put forward by Spain to celebrate this crucial means of communication. In some components of the world, radio still remains an important lifeline to the outdoors.

In remote farming communities in Australia, youngsters learn their school resolve radio. In bad communities in Africa, communities compile around the radio each night to sustain to date on national information and listen to songs and speeches. Radio has been replaced by the web and satellite communications for large components of the globe, but also for millions of much less privileged people, radio is still a miracle of technology.

Being very familiar with radio promotions: the whole point of a "Word/Artist/Code of the Day" contest is to keep people listening for as long as possible. So, the actual time will vary from day-to-day or the point would be lost (so to speak). That's their goal, to keep you listening, so the "Word/Artist/Code of the Day" won't be advertised in advance. Although some stations will "tease" with an approximate time, "Be sure to listen tomorrow between 10-2 when Billy-Bob will announce the "Word/Artist/Code of the Day." You'll just have to keep listening, which is what they want you to do.

IMPORTANT: For another contestant to give you the info would potentially hurt them in the contest, so take with a grain of salt and be very careful of any answers given here that would seem to actually answer your question accurately! I have seen fake, false and misleading answers on these contests posted here. There might be a nice guy or two who will answer honestly. But then again...

Good Luck.

Is it still worth buying a shortwave radio these days?

Effective?..... You can hear around the world........ Its just as effective as 50 years ago.......

Worth it?..... Maybe....... I don't listen to the shortwave bands as much as I used to.... But do occasionally..... Years ago I had an expensive shortwave receiver...... I don't have the interest so sold it...... I do have an AM/FM shortwave radio...... Its an Eton S350 and its priced a little more than a better grade AM/FM portable...... Consider one of those..... If it turns out your not that interested then you aren't out a lot of money and you still can use the AM/FM functions......

If you find out that shortwave radio really interests you then surely consider a top notch shortwave radio........

Shortwave stations dying off???....... What you may not realize is you can listen to marine, aircraft and military radio traffic on the better receivers..... You can also tune into ham radio operators all over the world.... Shortwave radio isn't just for broadcast stations......

radio.....?

Well, Z-100 of course. But it might take a few years to get there. Read the below and good luck!

OK, here's my brief version on how to get in radio. 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.

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 salespeople, acountants and business managers
