Radio stations will continue to need on-air talent to introduce and promote programming, especially as online streaming services become more popular. However, the growth rate for these workers will be tempered by the increasing use of automation in radio stations. Radio presenters are typically required to have at least a bachelor’s degree. Many radio presenters choose a degree in communications, broadcasting or journalism. Courses in public speaking, media law, creative writing and broadcasting are helpful for those pursuing a career in radio.
