Members of the Trigg County chapters of FBLA and DECA (above) went to Bristol Broadcasting in Paducah on Dec. 2 to see how radio stations work today.
Bristol Broadcasting houses several radio stations, such as Electric 96.9, WKYQ 93.3, Willie 102.1, 94.7 Double Q Classic Rock, News Talk, ESPN Radio, and LifeTalk 1450 AM.
The students had the opportunity to meet several DJ’s from many of the different stations. They were especially excited about meeting AJ from Electric 96.9’s morning show: AJ and Mitch in the Morning.
On the first part of the tour, the students received a lesson in advertising and what leads to success and failure in advertising, with examples ranging from Coca-Cola to Kia to Car Insurance. Next, students were able to walk through the radio stations and watch the DJs broadcasting live.
During this part of the tour, the students also got a glimpse of the business offices of the company. The tour concluded with the students getting to view and listen to the vans for Electric 96.9 and Double Q, which were equipped with massive sound systems. This was a highlight for many students.
