Description
City Visions, a live call-in radio program, has aired weekly on KALW 91.7 FM San
Francisco since 1991. (Monday, 7:00-8:00pm). We aim to educate, stimulate, and
make positive contributions to discussions on Bay Area issues. Our production team
– a talented group of multi-disciplined, public policy minded volunteers – brings
a broad perspective to current issues. This is a fantastic opportunity for people
interested in learning about radio production or who simply want to be part of a
team of volunteers informing our community about important issues.
Summary
City Visions is looking for someone interested in producing one radio program per
month. With support from the Senior Producer and others on the team, producers
develop guest panels to discuss a variety of topics important to the San Francisco
Bay Area. Production requires approximately 10-20 hours per show and consists
of: researching a topic; developing a guest panel; providing background material,
bios and potential questions for the host; writing copy; in-studio production on
show nights from 6pm to 9pm one Monday per month. Attendance at weekend bi-
monthly production meetings is also required. Show topics are flexible depending
upon a producer’s interests and skills.
