So, if you are the announcer…

Say the name of the station AT LEAST once every voice break. If it is a longer voice break, people may tune in part way through, so say the station name twice – once near the start, and once near the end.

Use your station’s name correctly. Say it the way it appears on your web site, on your building and in your station IDs.

And use the station’s positioning statement often, along with the station name: “Playing all your favourite songs from the 80s and 90s, Bridge FM.” – Just don’t do it EVERY time (unless the station manager tells you to).

Don’t go for more than two songs without identifying your station. Instead of playing three in a row with no station name, place a recorded station ID between two songs.

So go forth and identify!

Happy broadcasting
