Getting into TV

Who doesn't want to work in TV?

For some of our Radio Talent members, we offer a free place on our partner site TV Continuity which enables them to reach our TV Contacts for Continuity work.

This is a great idea because a few radio presenters and journalists lost their jobs last year and are now wandering around bumping into things looking for work. So instead of lying in a heap on the floor wishing to be back working on "101 The Small" these people can now set their sites on new skills, those of TV Continuity.

We even offer a podcast which shows how to make a TV Continuity demo and this information is extremely rare; unless of course you are a Jedi or own ITV.

No experience is necessary to be a continuity announcer on the TV ( that's the bit where they talk in between programmes by the way ) you can start from scratch and get a job without any experience from our website; providing you have the skills that is.

The principal of the TV Continuity website is the same as Radio Talent. It enables employers to find you when it suits them, NOT when it suits you.

What is the point of all this nonsense

Some might ask, what is the point of Radio Talent? Granted it is mainly the thick people that ask us that; so rather than point at them and laugh, we explain to them that it works rather like this:

Clever people see an opportunity and create a page on our website for a small fee. The page not only allows them a publicly accessed professional resume which they can update and cherish like a new pony, but enables them to reach people whom they may never reach in a million years.

The cleverest of those people work out how much it costs to have a page VS how  long term it can benefit them through opportunity and awareness - which we all know, eventually leads to cash.

But for Producers and Radio Bosses - what about those people?

Well these groups of people never ask us the point, as they tend to already know. If they didn't then they wouldn't be bosses. Because all bosses are smart.

For them Radio Talent allows them to easily see people of noteworthy standard who work in radio or TV. They can track progress, make contact, or just keep a watchful eye on the whole industry rather like a beady owl in a tree.

They can also talk to one of our staff by email, or place free radio jobs on our website which in turn automatically go on those websites where people write sentences or look at pictures of their ex girlfriend.

What's in it for you?

We like to think of Radio Talent www.radiotalent.co.uk as like a private collection of cars owned by a rich movie star. An array of beautiful marques, pristine, outstanding and exceptional.

A display of only the best there is on offer, all shiny, crisp and desirable. Reserved only for the discerning eye, the invited, those that can appreciate, those that understand.

Our website lists the achievers, the progressive thinkers, the ones you want to work with. The most exciting newcomers, the most seasoned voice overs rock solid presenters, award winning journalists and heavyweight producers make up what is still the world's only talent identification tool. And if you want talent, you want talent who have made the effort to catch your eye...not just today...but for tomorrow.
