Most high school kids go from one class to the next, never getting a break from the books. What if kids had a chance to run a school radio station? Nathan Hill High School has a modern radio class that gives its students that very chance.

The students play the hottest music, produce ads and run testimonials. KNHC is known for playing up-and-down dance hits before any other station in the nation. KNHC-FM has 60, 000 listeners a week. Tim Green, the 18-year-old music director for KNHC, says, “For me, radio is a break from the usual school day. It is something I enjoy.”

Running a radio station is not all play. There is real work to do. The radio station stays on an exact timetable called an hour clock. The hour clock shows the time at which music and different announcements will be aired. The 17-year-old programme director, Shirley Smith, says, “All of that material airs within one minute, give or take, of the time that it’s written.”

Like any other job, hosting a radio programme should have special lingo, or language, for the students to learn. Below is a list of radio lingo used at KNHC.

A.a local newspaper B.a travel leaflet
