WEBINAR: Tech Bootcamp for the Non-Technical: What You Need To Know About Your Station’s Stuff - 31 Jan

Following on from a successful session at the 2017 CBAA Conference, the first CBAA webinar of 2018 will provide technical guidance on various aspects of broadcasting catered to a non-technical audience.

In this webinar you will:

• Learn about your on-air path from studio to transmitter, and how to identify all the bits, in non-technical jargon!
• Receive plain-language information to help you with a CBF technology grant.
• Pick up useful strategic tips about all of the tools at your station that plug into electrical sockets, including phones, panels, links, antennae, and more.
• Find out more about the vibrant technical community that exists within the larger community broadcasting sector and how you (and your station staff & volunteers) can join in.
• Get an opportunity to have your technical questions answered.

Who is this webinar for?

All community broadcasters, especially managers and board/committee members, who have technical interest and more importantly, technical responsibilities.
