Found something musical!

As the title says, I found something musical!

(Ah, the joys of Google!) I found an interview on about.com with radio worker Jon Myer. Apparrently, he works for BBC Radio 6.

Here's the link: http://musicians.about.com/od/interviewsandbios/a/jonmyerbbc.htm

He claims that it is easier to get a job in radio if you have already done something in the media, because lots of people apply for all the small vacancies. Hopefully, this "something in the media" involves singing on TV :)

He also says that if bands want to get their music played on a radio station, it is much easier to set the song on a CD, with the contact details, release details, etc.

So, taking that into account, I suppose that means that to work in a radio station, it's better to have the right qualifications (which I'm assuming are something in music and media), but to have music played on the radio, the only thing you need is a good song (and a CD writer).
