Birth of the radio jockey

June 24th, 2006

Before, World War II, announcers and newsreaders were relatively anonymous. It was only following the outbreak of war in 1939, that it was decreed that radio announcers give their names at the start of each news bulletin, so that listeners would become accustomed to their voices and be able to detect if the voice was being impersonated by the enemy in the event of invasion.

    If you are a chatterbox who can spew two dozen words a second, this is a profession tailor-made for you. And there is no one to reprimand you for talking so much because your job depends on how glib and voluble you are. Welcome to the world of radio-jockeying, a hip-hop career that is fast emerging as a viable choice for youngsters. Aspirants are queuing up for this job that guarantees an instant passport to fame. And with the opening up of several new radio channels in the metros, and the names of radio jockeys on our lips, the popularity of this profession has gone up manifold.

    Hi!! RJing is a fun game but must have brains to say things which are meaningful too becoz there are all sorts of people who r tuned in. Imp thing is that people should relate to what you say. I am an RJ with Rainbow India 102.6 MHz in Delhi. All the best to all who are the aspiring RJs.

    In the name of RJing some Jocks are selling total bakwaas to the masses. It is high time that they came to know that RJing is not all about speaking only. The content is really very important!
