R10- Radio- outside broadcasting

Inside a radio outside broadcast van there's a lot of equipment, they also have a large mast on the roof of the van. the vehicle is used for outside broadcasting. It's very important that the local radio station keeps in contact with the outside community, and outside broadcasts are one way of doing this.

There are lots of people involved. There is the presenter of the programme, an engineer, and a person who is in charge of public relations, as well as the desk operator and a station engineer in the studio.
The presenter's job is to be ready with a microphone in their hand and the engineer is in the radio van operating the equipment. The person in charge of the public relation organises people to be interviewed by the presenter. It's the presenter's job to link the programme together with interviews and some chat.

The radio car travels all over the community and broadcasts from various places. For example: football grounds, schools, hospitals, etc. It is usually present where some big local event is taking place.
