  1. Internship at WBHT-FM Citadel Broadcasting Corporation

  2. Citadel Broadcasting Corporation • Citadel radio broadcasting is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. • The company was founded in 1984. • Citadel owns and operates 155 FM and 58 AM radio stations in 47 mid-sized markets across 24 states in the U.S.

  3. Citadel Broadcasting Corporation • Citadel focuses on mid-sized markets because they are less competitive, have fewer signals, and derive most of their revenue from local advertisers. • Citadel is the fifth largest broadcasting company in the U.S. based on net broadcasting revenue.

  4. Citadel Broadcasting Corporation • Citadel has five FM stations and one AM station in the Wilkes-Barre area. • I am choosing to intern at their WBHT-FM radio station on 97.1 frequency because it has always been my favorite radio station.

  5. WBHT-FM 97 BHT • 97 BHT is located at 600 Baltimore Drive right here in Wilkes-Barre. • 97 BHT is the number one choice for hit music in northeastern PA. • They play 20 hits in a row all day from the biggest artists from pop, rock, hip-hop, and R&B.

  6. Target Audience • 97 BHT’s largest audience is women from ages 18-49. • However, the station targets towards people of all ages

  7. Significance in Community • 97 BHT attends and helps with community events across northeastern PA. • The annual Miracle Makers Radioathon has helped raise money for the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville for six years now. • BHT has encouraged listeners to donate over $144,000 overall.

  8. Internship Position • I’m hoping to intern with BHT’s promotions/sales/event-planning department. • I expect to help advertise and organize events, and just help with whatever is needed. • I’m using this internship as a beginner to obtain a Spring internship with Wachovia Arena’s promotions and events.

  9. ¿ Why Me ? • This is my first semester as a Mass Communications major and I don’t have much experience besides writing and an introduction to the field. • However, I am very eager to work for BHT, I am dedicated and hard-working, and I’m a people person. I have great communication skills, and I am up for any task. I’m creative, and I always have an open mind. • I think all of these skills and attributes are very important in this field.

  10. What I Need to Improve On • I could work on my public speaking and try to stop procrastinating when getting things done. Also, I need to know more about the field. • Next semester, I am taking Radio Production, Graphics, and Photography which could all potentially help me while I’m interning.
