Radio Room Management
Station managers are responsible for the day-to-day running of radio stations. They lead
the management team and ensure that the key objectives of the station are met in terms of output,
audience or revenue. The help to determine the stations objective and it is their job to provide
leadership and motivation to station staff to ensure they are met.

C. Evaluation of the Project
Estimated Time of Complete Projects
Estimated time to complete is a projection of the time and or effort required to complete a
project activity. Estimated time to complete is a value that is expressed in hours of work required
to complete a task or project.
During the initial stages of project planning one of the main objectives is to get a realistic
estimation of time to complete. Estimating the time to complete is one component of the project
plan. Estimating the time to complete will assist with resource, cost and time planning.
The said feasibility of establishing a radio booth on Saint Marys Angel College of
Pampanga will take four months in construction.
Getting permit and buying of materials (1 week)
Construction of radio booth (1 week)
Putting up of radio room equipment (1 week)
Fixing signals and advertise to students and nearby places (1 week)
Estimated Cost of Projects
This part provides the equipment guidelines for a complete local-production capable public radio
station with interconnection to the Public Radio Satellite System.
Prices are given for the following power levels of transmission equipment:
Pricing for Class A transmission system
Pricing for Class B and Class B1 transmission system
Pricing for all Class C transmission system
Pricing for Digital IBOC Transmission Equipment
Pricing for Class A transmission system
This system is based on the FCC docket 80-90 for a maximum ERP of 3 KW, HAAT
being 328' or 100 meters maximum. The priced system includes a 3.5 KW transmitter,
350' tower and 350' of 1-5/8" Heliax transmission line, and a 2-bay circularly polarized
antenna with a 5 KW maximum input power.
Pricing for Class B and Class B1 transmission system
This system is based on the FCC docket 80-90 for a maximum ERP of 50 KW, HAAT
being 492' or 150 meters maximum. The priced system includes a 25 KW transmitter,
500' tower and 500' of 3" Heliax transmission line, and a 4-bay circularly polarized
antenna.
Pricing for All Class C transmission system
This system is based on the FCC docket 80-90 for a maximum ERP of 100 KW, HAAT
being the minimum for Class C of 984' or 300 meters. The priced system includes a 25
KW transmitter, 1,050' tower and 1,100' of 3" Heliax transmission line, and an 8-bay
circularly polarized antenna.
IBOC (HD) Radio. The equipment list includes the cost of transmission equipment
required for high level and low level combining. Stations using low level combining
(power levels 7 KW and belowand possibly higher in the future) must ensure that their
existing analog transmitter is capable of the linearity needed to pass the digital sidebands
while maintaining the licensed analog ERP. There are other technological approaches that
could be considered for digital radio implementation in the future such as dual input
antennas when authorized. The final equipment selection should be determined by a
comprehensive evaluation of the accepted methods of conversion.
Digital-upgradable transmitters. NTIA anticipates funding digital-upgradable
transmitters to replace analog transmitters, if requested by applicants and justified as
urgent replacement. Recipients may add HD Radio (IBOC) exciters to PTFP-funded
digital-upgradable transmitters or use grant funds awarded for an analog or digital-
upgradable radio transmitter towards the purchase of a transmitter with an IBOC
Pricing is given for:

Remote Record Unit (Radio)
Low Power FM Transmission System

NOTE: The level of equipment that institution can support is limited to equipment that
can be presumed to have at least a 10-year life. By statute (47 USC 392(g)), the
institution retains a priority reversionary interest in all equipment in a grant for ten years
after the project is closed out. A typical radio equipment package that meets this
requirement is listed above. Radio stations may be able to equip control rooms and
studios on their own at a lower cost than the level.

Benefits of the Project
Communication Skills: Enhance the students ability to communicate in writing (i.e scripts and
programmes for broadcasting), confidence in speaking over the airways and their ability to
communicate with the broadcasting team.
Confidence building: give students the opportunity to be in the public eye or ear. Let them give
to self-expression and on-air debate.
Developing awareness of current affairs: broadcasting can enable the students to be aware of
current social economic and political issues as they research their programme material.
Language development: programme writing develops language skills and the ability to commit
thoughts to paper.
Interviewing skills: students can develop their interviewing skills as they prepare and deliver
questions and answers for their programme.
Journalism skills: creative thinking, research, writing and broadcasting can enhance the skills of
a budding young journalists.
Research skills: broadcasting can encourage students to think deeper about their programme
material and to strengthen their research skills.
Teamwork: what a thrill, to be a member of a broadcasting team. Students can learn the benefits
of working together in a busy and exciting environment and can plan operation of the studios
Promote all areas of learning to pupils and parents: keep parents informed about new
government initiatives and how it will affect the school. Promote special school events on-air,
live or over the internet.
Build pride in your school: keep students informed about the progress and status of their
school. Encourage them to be a part of the school rather than just an attendee. Give them the
opportunity to promote their school to each other in an exciting and interesting way.
