Introduction to Radio
Radio 90A at Foothill College

The Radio 90A course offered by Foothill College is the gateway through which all KFJC DJs must pass. After successful completion of this course, a potential DJ is placed into formal training program which varies by individual but typically combines one-on-one training, graveyard (2A to 6A) shifts and then certification.

The course is typically taught on Wednesday evenings. Check notices at the station (bldg 6200) for times and room.
