URBAN CITY YOUTH RADIO SHOW CASTING CALL 2021

Urban City Youth (UCY) Cycle 8 – is seeking 15 to 20 motivated Bay Area youth, ages 12-16, who are interested in media arts production training. The training is specific to Radio, Television Streaming Production/Programming and Social Media Campaigns.

The program requires students to work in teams to accomplish production goals for local radio shows, Television streaming production/programming and aggressive social media marketing promotions.  Students will benefit from cross-training in all three areas.  All production will require team work to accomplish completion of projects to be within required format, time frame of completion and delivery requirement, and meet quality standards so as to greenlight the production for a scheduled broadcast. Students will also participate in a monetized simulation where they are trained to remain in budget.

UCY Cycle 8 is a 12 week program that will require students to interact (virtual or in person) for a minimum of 4 hours per week to complete projects. Once projects are complete they are inspected (per FCC regulation guidelines) by the UCY Quality Control Team then greenlighted for a scheduled air date.

UCY students reserve the right to select their own topics/subjects that are most important to them for the content of their shows; however, there are 12 pre-selected show subjects. Each with an accompanying template to allow them to learn the example of the UCY production chain. Once they are acclimated to the production system they will usually become more proactive and take more ownership of their own projects and producing them in their own way according to production guidelines as established by the UCY Administration.
