A.  Student classes in radio and television production

KIOS-FM is part of the OPS Career Center.  As part of the Career Center offerings, interested students were transported here each day from all the Omaha high schools to study radio and television production.  The radio students’ projects, including a weekly hour-long jazz program – “Jazz from Studio One” and a monthly five-minute record review were broadcast on KIOS-FM at various times during the school year.  The television students’ productions, including half-hour programs called “O-Zone” and “Teen Cuisine” were broadcast on the local cable outlet.  These classroom learning experiences exposed students to future broadcast employment possibilities.
B.    Student broadcast production activities
On March 24th and 25th 2009, KIOS conducted the final session of our annual “Radio Drama Workshops” with 7 fourth-grade classes from Fullerton Magnet Center, an Omaha Public Schools elementary school.  The classes were brought here from Fullerton where each class recorded a short radio play written by a local author and theatre personality, Doug Marr.  The classes were brought to KIOS two at a time.  While one class recorded the radio play, the other was given a tour of the radio and television facilities.  This was the final session.  

Mr. Marr went to Fullerton several times during Spring 2009 to conduct sessions with the students in their classrooms to show what radio drama is and how it works, including how to speak into microphones, how to do sound effects, etc..  The groups averaged around 25 students per group, totaling approximately 200.  We then made CDs of the recording sessions for each of the students participating in the workshop, as well as their teachers.  These actual radio production activities exposed students to future broadcast employment possibilities.
