The programme was conducted in three phases; one-day workshop (Phase 1), shadowing of the deejays (Phase 2) and co-hosting with the deejays.

The one-day workshop equipped the participants with the knowledge on how Tamil is used when speaking on air, in the creation of radio advertisements, digital news and they were also given brief introduction to the history of Tamil radio station in Singapore.

In phase 2, participants shadowed the deejays in 3 to 4 different time belts and learned how a deejay’s typical work day at the radio station is like. In the final phase, participants co-hosted with the deejays.
