I am now in the radio industry, all thanks to a jock competition. More than 10 years ago, it was because of my friend who was the one who really wanted to join. I came with him, without the intention of joining, but my friend got me a registration form, so I signed up for the competition anyway.

My friend was eliminated on his first round. I got through. And since my winning, I never looked back.

This summer, what a perfect time it is for DJ wannabes to give their best shot. I know two stations who are doing junior DJ contests.

99.1 Spirit FM is having DJ Idols and Monster Radio BT 99.5 holds Summer Jock. If you’re local station has a similar tilt, grab the chance.
