CJLO 1690AM is hiring volunteers!
CJLO 1690 AM is Concordia’s only radio station. CJLO is 100% non-profit and runs entirely on the power of its volunteers and it’s a part of our mission to teach and train students and community members. CJLO can offer hands-on training in broadcasting, sound production, live recording, promotions, sales, broadcast administration, news writing and reporting, marketing, and much more! Our volunteers go on to work in commercial radio, the music industry, broadcast journalism, and many other fields. In today’s competitive workforce, experience is vital. Volunteering at CJLO is a great place to gain the experience you need to stand out in any industry.
Volunteers run their shows in any language they feel comfortable in and we are always open to airing third-language shows. Other than that, you can sign up to volunteer with our news team, our magazine team, or our production team as well!
