DCUfm recruitment thread

    Hey there, I'm Cian, the technical manager at DCUfm.
    The DCUfm management team is revving up to build another awesome schedule of shows! Last year we won a rather overwhelming number of awards for every aspect of the station, and are of course part of Ireland's best college society, DCU Media Production Society (BICS 2011)

    We have some rather huge plans for this year, and really want you to be part of them! If you are at all interested in the inner workings of radio, throw some questions at me here and I'll answer every one I can. We might also get some of the other staff members to join in. DCUfm doesn't do radio as a hobby, we do it for real, and this is going to be your best chance to get some serious experience in the broadcast field.

    If you have an idea for a show that you think would rock, drop it in here and I'll help you build a proposal for it.

    If you have heard that DCUfm is "only for communications students", that is utter crap. Neither the Manager nor the Assistant Manager this year are in the school of communications, and I'm in Multimedia.

    If you don't feel comfortable in front of the microphone, we also need researchers, people to run the control desk and about a thousand other jobs need doing. Our award winning news and sports teams are two of the most active sections of the station, and the people you hear on-air are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to staff.

    Do yous have a job for someone interested in sports?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭Shreddingblood


    When can I sign up?

    Yup! We have dedicated sports shows and have sports bulletins on the hour. Each of those require writers, researchers and, of course, people to be on the air. Very often, a single person does all that work, especially for the bulletins. The dedicated shows, however, have a rather large team who contribute, including people with specialization in various sports.

    What sort of thing would you be interested in doing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 647 ✭✭✭slasher_65


    When can I sign up?

    Sign up on Clubs and Socs day, and then we'll send out an email with further information. We'll be running all sorts of workshops and such at the start of the year. Loads of chances to get involved. You DO need to be a fully paid (€4) member of the Media Production Society though. Which, by the way, is Ireland's Best Society. Did I mention that?

    If you have a show proposal NOW though, throw it at us! I got involved with the station while I was still doing my Leaving, pitching two shows to the previous station manager.

    As that is one of the most popular sports out there, I'm sure we can find something for you to do! There's always more games that need covering.

    Join up, sure, and come take a gawk in at the studio on Clubs and Socs day. We will be pretty hard to miss, as we are at the entrence to the building in which the student bar is.

    Fair enough I'll have a chat to yous then. It sounds like an interesting society.

    Eh I'll get back to you on that.

    Yeah this sounds great! I'd hoped to do communications but didn't get it, hopefully I could still get involved in the radio side of it. If you don't already have a show like it, how about a weekly movie review with some music to go with each review?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭Shreddingblood


    Can I join an existing programme?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 lauramayy


    that all sounds great, i'd love to be involved if you'll have me :)
    I'll be starting in DCU in a week , so i will be up to ye then!:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 304 ✭✭polkabunny


    Do you have any sort of program focusing on any projects that students may be doing which are interesting, whether extra curricular or not? I think that'd be something nice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 922 ✭✭✭aoife_bennett


    Can be in too?? Also, do you need experience? I have some broadcasting under my belt but I'm not great with the technical side of things.

    Sounds interesting! We have one or two different shows which cover movies, but those are generally genre movies (sci-fi, fantasy). A few of the other shows have a short movie slot too.

    A 30 min - 1 hour slot only on movies each week might be a bit tough to pull off, even with the music thrown in too. If you think you can do it though, or also could throw in some TV and other media chat, it sounds like the sort of thing which could make a very interesting proposal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 647 ✭✭✭slasher_65

    Sure! Some programs will be looking for people to join up. We'll know more about that once the semester starts.

    A week, yea say? A few of the management will be wandring around the place, but we won't be back in ful swing until the semester starts up for sure. If you spot one of us (we'll likely be in the studio) come up and introduce yourself!
    Do you have any sort of program focusing on any projects that students may be doing which are interesting, whether extra curricular or not? I think that'd be something nice

    This is something that I've always wanted to do, and if you can come up with an interesting way to do it, it could be pretty great! There are so many excurricular activities going on around the campus, never mind personal projects run by students.
    Can be in too?? Also, do you need experience? I have some broadcasting under my belt but I'm not great with the technical side of things.

    No experience required! We'll be running all sorts of training sessions to get you up to speed. The vast majority of the people involved have had no past experience.
    As for the technical side of things, it's actually quite easy, so long as you aren't in management and expected to be able to fix everything. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭Aileen123


    Wooooooo sounds great! As I'vebeen told like a million times as a communications student you simply have to join dcufm :) I'd be quite interested in doing a bit of news maybe bita showbiz, interviewing that kinda jazz?:P I'd be well into my music too, a show playing new music from upcoming bands in dublin would be good, ye might already have something like that! bita a gig guide and that, id be well up for that :)

    Thanks for the feedback! :) I think if the show covered about 3-4 movies per week in a 30 min slot with the added music and possible soundbites from the movies, the time could be filled. I'll work on the logistics and content of it before the sign up day anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,894 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord


    That Terry fella was great last year, should get him again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 CrackityCam


    Hey, my name's Cammie and I live in the states. I'm in my last year of high school right now. If I get accepted into DCU next year I want to study Multimedia. Would an accent be an issue if I were ever to broadcast?

    Get working on a proposal! Later today I'll put up a post outlining what needs to be in one. It's sort of what it sounds like though.

    Yup, I became a bit of a regular dropping into Terry's show. You may have heard me shouting something in the background every so often. It was pretty hilarious.

    I am really looking forward to joining this society and getting experience behind the scenes at a radio station. i had an idea for a show, i dont know if you do this already but how about something that discusses past and upcoming shows, concerts and festivals. playing music from bands that are due to play gigs the following week in dublin and possibly around the country, maybe even get some interviews.

    Yo dude, I'm a movie nerd, if you need help with presenting and working with the proposal drop me a pm. I have ideas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭ordinary_girl


    I have some experience working in local radio so am really interested in this. Would I have to work in one specific section of the station or can you do a variety of things (broadcasting, research, etc.) throughout the year?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 CrackityCam


    Thanks, I'd love to do some interviews with bands and be a part of the more music related stuff. I take beginner radio broadcasting in my school right now so hopefully I get a little bit of experience by next year. Unrelated but is DCU a hard school to get into?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman

    It's all about supply and demand over here. I'm not sure how it works for somebody in your position. Have you spoken to your Career Guidance teacher in your school about what you need to do to get accepted into a college in Ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 DamianWolff


    well-well-well.jpg, this sounds interesting.
    Would surely love to join in and do my part. I am pretty versatile, love writing, gathering info, talking to people, good at meeting deadlines.
    So I guess see you on the Clubs and Socs day, gonna see if any of my skills are of use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭Omega28


    I'm going into Multimedia this year, mature student. I have always wanted to do something on the radio, I was going to get involved with near fm but I haven't got the time at the moment. I'm a club dj but always wanted to venture into radio.

    I'll def be going this society and other related ones (music production,dj, radio etc)

    Hey there! A lot of shows cover this kind of things already, generally in genres. For instance, one show, which is now part of RTE, I believe, talks about upcoming gigs for unsigned bands. Again, it's all about finding a niche! Come have a chat to us at some point.

    You can do a variety. However, if you do start up a show we ask that you continue it for at least one semester so that our timetable doesn't get all messed up. If you get involved with the station you often find yourself helping out other shows, and just dropping by for chats when bored!

    You are a club DJ, you say? Let's get you a late-night show! The current manager has his own late-night DJ show, so you'll have some competition. He rarely mixes live on air though, so you might be able to get the one-up on him on that. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭Omega28


    whos the dj in the new bar? any idea what kinda equipment they use?

    well I'm not much of a DJ but I try :o

    will there be any sessions involved, if so count me in :) (by sessions i mean the drinking variety)

    Hi there,

    I'm Ciaran, heavily involved in the News Team of DCUfm and I presented the Movies show last year (G'wan The Picturehouse!) and like Cian said, helped out on loads of different shows as everyone does.

    As for sessions, oh god yeah there's plenty of them. The station is really like a great big family, that loves drinking and general malark like that!

    If there's anything Cian can't answer I'll do my best to do so. Like he said, shows need more than a presenter. There's a lot of stuff always going on behind the mic.

    As for the News Team, we take it pretty seriously. Bulletins on the hour, sport ones too. And two current affairs show per week. If News is for you then you definitely want to get involved in this arm of DCUfm. The News Team is always looking for new recruits. Newswire (The Current Affairs show) needs researchers, presenters and plenty of stuff along those lines. If you've any questions in regards to this side of the station, ask away! We're gonna train everyone in on all they need to know anyways.

    Drop in during Orientation Week to say hello and be sure to join on Clubs & Socs day.

    Sure, we're a lovely bunch!!

    Oh god yes. We will be planning many outings, and advertising them heavily. Pizza has an odd habit of showing up in the studio when you least expect it, as well. But you didn't hear that from me.

    HAI DAR CIARAN!

    Which reminds me. The first session shall likely be some sort of joint 20th birthday party between Ciaran and myself. Turning 20 on the first day of college, don't you know?

    Suits shall be encouraged.

    1: Yes! And your friends can come too!
    2: While the suggestions for chicks-in-suits are fewer, suits are still encouraged. Or at least a nice evening dress. Maybe a ball-gown. They don't let you into Coppers in just ANYTHING, these days.

    More info shall be made available soon, and possibly broadcast on DCUfm in the days before it happens.

    Well i don't like serious stuff, at all (that's what the lectures are for after all). Can we not have a show that just talks about "the morning after". College is all about the parties and nights out so can there not be a show dedicated to people sharing their stories from their nights out ? Where the best places are to go out and where aren't. I'd also like to interview people on campus and ask them some really strange questions and see how they answer.

    I've just whipped up a preliminary form for people to fill out if they are interested in helping out at the station! We'll need everybody to fill one of these out at some point over the next few weeks, so you may as well get it over with now.

    This is a bit of an experiment, and we are looking to do all application forms online. We might get in contact with you later requesting more details.

    Below is quoted the "Get Involved" page from DCUfm.com. Please read!
    DCUfm is always on the lookout for new volunteers to join the team.

    Whether it’s news, sport, music, arts, talk or Irish language programmes, we want to hear from you. You can join as a presenter, or work behind the scenes editing or producing if you prefer.

    What we’re looking for:
    1. Commitment and reliability. Don’t say you’re going to do something if you’re not likely to be available.
    2. You can do as much or as little as you like, but be clear about what times you are / aren’t free.
    3. Radio listeners. To know what good radio sounds like, you should be a regular radio listener.
    4. Interested in a music show? Specify what specific genres you like and what bands you enjoy. Don’t say you like “all types” of music!
    No previous experience is required – for many of our volunteers DCUfm is their first foray into the radio world. If you have recordings of previous work you’ve done, email your MP3s to us too. If the file is too big to attach, use websites like SendSpace or YouSendIt to upload the file and send us the link.

    Once you have read the above, please click (NOPE! OFFLINE! See below) to start filling out the form. I know it's a bit long, but it used to be LOTS longer. We used to make people make an actual calendar of when they were free! Now, with the magic of the internet, you simply need to send us a link to your timetable. Magic!

    Note that filling out this form does not mean you are exempt from attending any mandatory meetings held by DCUfm. There is a VERY important meeting at the start of the year where we explain how things work, and detail how training is going to work.

    Filling out this form just means you get your interest in early, and we get a headstart on building up schedules.

    We have temporarily taken the form offline as we make a few changes.

    Well hello everyone, I'm Tracey DCU MPS's other PRO!
    I really would encourage everyone to join mps and get stuck in with both FM and TV! Most of my best memories of first year apart from all the drunken ones either were in FM or with people from MPS or on our trips. Don't be scared of FM! I remember I got an e-mail saying that I was to be in the station for the next morning for the breakfast with two people I didn't I was TERRIFIED! I had no experience and didn't know anyone on the show! I'm so glad I did it though I made brilliant friends got great experience! The same is said for TV! PLEASE JOIN MPS it really is DCU's best society! Looking forward to seeing ye all clubs and socs day and if your really eager then on the 28th of October for Get to know MPS day!!!
    Tracey :D

    I'm in the process of building a system which is going to introduce this very fear into people in the coming weeks. ;)

    I agree, I came up with the idea for a show (Occam's Barbershop) and requested a cohost. It's pretty scary, meeting them for the first time. But Brendan and I are now a perfect on-air match, and learning to work with him to the point where we now just bounce off each other was hugely educational!

    So, once you get that scary email which tells you who you will be working with and at what time, don't be worried. The people are statistically going to be awesome.

    Also, the morning show shift (9am) is actually kind of awesome, since you get to eat pastries, drink coffee and read the papers in a nice warm room as everybody around you freezes in the snow come winter time.

    True story.

    Hi guys, Sarah here. Sorry for not commenting on this thread earlier.. I'm doing Irish and Journalism (pretty excited now it's getting close!) and would love to get involved doing anything with MPS, especially with DCUfm :) I've done some work experience in local radio and newspaper in Wexford but they never let me into the studio in the radio station! :-P ( Perhaps with good reason! ) Anyway I'd love to get involved, and will see ye on soc's day! :)

    Just popping in to say even if you only have a passing interest in radio, you still need to do this. I'm heading into my 4th year with the station and deciding to check out that first DCUfm meeting back in 1st year was the best decision I ever made.

    Also get involved with sport if that's your interest, I hear that Action Replay thing is decent enough :P
