RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, June 16, 2022 |
Nineteen students successfully completed the Kellar Radio Talent Institute's one-of-a-kind broadcast radio training program at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. The return of the in-person 10-day immersive professional development course for college students also marks the first institute to be produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau since it acquired the National Radio Talent System (NRTS) in August, 2020.
During the Kellar Radio Talent Institute, over 45 broadcast professionals from radio broadcast companies such as Audacy, Beasley Media Group, Capitol Broadcasting, Curtis Media, Dick Broadcasting, iHeartRadio, Inner Banks Media and Performance Racing Network, along with Don Anthony from Talk Show and Morning Show Bootcamp, Erica Farber from RAB, and Dan Vallie, founder of NRTS, participated and led sessions for the students.
The students participated in all the sessions, that included such topics as on-air delivery, sports, news, promotions, production, podcasting, engineering, digital and sales plus all successfully completed the RAB Radio Marketing Professional certification course.
"An integral part of the RAB's mission is providing the industry with the tools and resources to help broadcasters attract new sales talent to the medium and enhance radio's professionalism through training and support," said RAB President/CEO Erica Farber. "Bringing back the talent institutes was a top priority for RAB, and we are excited by this year's Kellar graduating class, all future broadcasters."
The Kellar Radio Talent Institute at Appalachian State is the original institute of the National Radio Talent Systems, that began in 2007. This is the first institute to return in 2022 with a planned strategic roll out for more institutes in the summer of 2023.
