During the reporting period, Noalmark Broadcasting Corporation implemented an internship program. The internship program is designed to give students the opportunity to experience the careers available in the radio broadcasting industry. The internship program chooses interns from applicants who express an interest in the radio industry.

 

Interns are exposed to the various operations of a radio station which may include some combination of on-air work, show production, remote broadcasts, engineering, traffic, billing, administrative assistance, sales, commercial production and board operation, depending to some extent upon the interests of the intern and the needs of the station. We currently have one female intern that is a student at Hobbs High School.
