If you are thinking of a particular station, I would check out their website or call and speak to them and see how it goes from there. The other avenue to get on the air is via Indian programming (usually on Sundays) on public channels. But I would imagine that any work for these stations would have to start with some other position - as a Sujatha Bagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140274113596874518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-89943806174563942422007-07-12T16:38:00.000-04:002007-07-12T16:38:00.000-04:00hi , now that you are here in the states...would y...hi , now that you are here in the states...would you know how i could work as RJ to any local desi radio station? many thanksmookuthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652916444537349473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-37756252579341949212007-03-08T22:12:00.000-05:002007-03-08T22:12:00.000-05:00thanks sujatha!But im still not clear what kind of...thanks sujatha!<BR/>But im still not clear what kind of training is that ...i mean how long is the traing and what do they train you in?I wonder if any local FMs would take me without tamil.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094624680425248417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-52836196205953679012007-03-01T10:28:00.000-05:002007-03-01T10:28:00.000-05:00Hey suj..hope you are fine..well..I had gone throu...Hey suj..hope you are fine..well..I had gone through ur article...and before that I hated reading...but this one was really intresting one...and real too...<BR/><BR/>Well...being a RJ is my dream...but right now I m studyin fr Computer Softwares...I dunno..from where to start.The suggestion u gave to Nidhi,I will try to follow.<BR/><BR/>T.H.A.N.K.

You should contact the FM division and find out when their next set of auditions will be. In Chennai, don't think it's possbible to be on radio if you don't know the local language.
