Also known as Broadcasting Presenter Radio Presenter Television Presenter TV Presenter Work Activities There are a number of presentation jobs in radio and television. These include programme presenters, continuity announcers and newsreaders. Programme Presenters As a Programme Presenter, you'll be the 'face' of a programme. You'll introduce guests and performers, providing a link between each part of the show. Your presenting style will reflect your personality and will need to be in keeping with the image that the Producer and Director want for the programme. You might entertain by telling jokes and stories, or you could have a more serious, informative delivery. You could be reading from an autocue or learning a script. You might even need to be able to perform without formal preparation - thinking on your feet. Continuity Announcers Continuity Announcers provide the vocal link between programmes. You'll tell the watching or listening audience what is coming up and describe changes to programmes - sometimes interrupting broadcasts with urgent news or apologies for faults. You will usually be live on the air. You'll be given an exact amount of time to fill between items, which could change at short notice. Therefore, you must have extra material to fill any sudden gaps. Newsreaders Newsreaders present news programmes and bulletins, reading from a script or an autocue system. You'll introduce pre-recorded news stories and live reports from Journalists on location.
