"Compare top broadcasting schools and apprenticeship programs with BMG, and...The difference in value, quality of services and price is obvious"“What are the top broadcasting schools?”“How does BMG compare with Internships?”“How does BMG compare with broadcasting schools?”“How does BMG compare with regular broadcasting apprenticeship programs?”“How do your costs compare with broadcasting schools and regular apprenticeships?”“What are the top broadcasting schools?”The top broadcasting schools in the country are really determined more by your learning style, budget and availability, than arbitrary rankings. If you’re a hands-on, learn by doing type of person, then a broadcasting apprenticeship such as BMG offers would be the best fit for your learning style. However, if you’re the type of learner that does best in a classroom and lecture setting, then a traditional brick and mortar broadcasting school would be a top broadcasting school for you to consider. The same common sense principles apply to your budget and availability when trying to determine what the top broadcasting schools are for you. If you have a rigid schedule, and a broadcasting school offers classes at times you’re not available – and at prices you can’t afford – then that’s not likely the top broadcasting school for you. What you should be looking for in determining what the top broadcasting schools are for you, is:
“How does BMG compare with Internships?”Internships are only generally available to currently enrolled college students. Most TV & Radio stations won’t even allow you to work for free in an internship if you’re not enrolled in college, and receiving college credits for the internship. Due to National Fair Labor Laws and previous lawsuits against broadcasting companies, this has pretty much become the industry norm. Strengths of Internships
Weaknesses of Internships College students only: If you’re not currently enrolled in college, you generally CAN’T do an internship. However, you can do a broadcasting apprenticeship. Regardless of how old you are, or where you live, if there are radio stations nearby, you can become a broadcaster through BMG’s apprenticeship training program Highly competitive: You’re one of 10-20 other interns at a given station, hoping to be selected if or when a job becomes available. Lack of specific job training: You won’t be trained for any specific job in broadcasting as an intern, as most interns are really just exchanging free labor for college credits. Few personal references: You’ll usually have difficulty developing personal references, since you’re rarely working one-on-one with anyone, or learning specific job skills. Most broadcasters won’t hazard a recommendation on someone’s skills they're unsure of. Back to top“How does BMG compare to traditional broadcasting schools?”You’ve heard the saying; “It’s not what you know, but WHO you know?” Broadcasting is one industry in which having already established contacts inside the business puts you at a major advantage. On the other hand, not having insider contacts creates a disadvantage for you. After all, you may have the greatest broadcasting skills in the world, but if nobody knows you, what good will your broadcasting skills do you? By design, traditional broadcasting schools aren’t structured to create these insider contacts. The owners of these schools aren't bad or evil people. They simply designed their broadcasting schools with a critical component missing - contacts. BMG’s radio broadcasting apprenticeships are specifically designed to develop these all-important contacts from day one, by placing you on the inside of the broadcasting industry for your training. Upon completion of training, the broadcasting school student from a brick-and-mortar school is usually scrambling and looking for ways to get their foot in the door to make those all important job contacts. By then, it's generally too late, as no relationships have been built with any of these important contacts. Having important contacts is obviously best when there's relationship involved with that contact. Conversely, BMG’s radio broadcdasting apprenticeship students are looking to leverage their already-established relationships into broadcasting jobs, the minute employment becomes available.
