How much does it cost to become a radio announcer?

Answer 1

Not nearly enough. To start off in Radio you make roughly making $20-25,000 per year. That is with a full time gig. If you're good and host a morning show, you could make upwards of $100,000 or more per year.

Answer 2

It depends. Many current and former announcers (myself among them) got their start in college radio. If you attend a two-year or four-year college that has its own radio station, you can learn how to broadcast there, and you may even get your own show. Some people attend a broadcasting school-- this is like a vocational school, and generally trains you over a one year period. Some of these schools are reputable, but many are not. (Check the reputation of the school, see if they are accredited, and check their actual record of placing graduates.) Also, some people learn how to broadcast by volunteering at a local community station or working on a friend's internet station.

Thus, depending on whether you take courses or just try to learn as a volunteer, it may be expensive to train to be an announcer (broadcasting schools can cost as much as $15,000, and some cost more). The best way is to learn radio as part of getting a college degree. Yes, college degrees are expensive too, but you will get plenty of practice and on-the-job training while you also get a degree, and a good education will help you when you go searching for a job-- in radio or elsewhere.
