You’ve dreamed of ways to become sports broadcaster, but ­never knew exactly how it was best done? Turning your dream into reality is very possible, but take it from those who know.

You need more than luck. You’ll also need more than just skills for sports broadcasting. And gone are the days when a snazzy demo tape and resume alone will open doors for you.

In today’s world of radio broadcasting, you need passion, a strong work ethic, dedication, and the hardest of all ingredients to get … insider access and contacts.

Your Biggest Challenge To Becoming A Radio Broadcaster

The biggest challenges you’ll face when starting your career in sports broadcasting are developing solid broadcasting skills, and then getting your ‘foot in the door’. Having just broadcasting skills with no insider contacts, or insider contacts with few broadcasting skills, will do you little good.

You need both in order to stand a fighting chance of ever realizing your dream of becoming a successful sports broadcaster.

It should be obvious why acquiring announcing skills are a must. You’re in the communications business, and proper communication skills are a large part of the job requirements. Not so obvious to some, however, is the importance of establishing influential insider contacts as soon as possible.

The reason is simple. Radio broadcasting is a competitive business. After all, who WOULDN’T want to get paid to play their favorite song, discuss hot political topics, or announce sporting events for a living?

Some broadcasting jobs may literally have hundreds of applicants vying for one prized position. Many other broadcasting jobs never open up because they were filled from within...which is exactly where you will be as a SMG “Ultra-Insider” – already within the radio station, or training with a team’s play-by-play announcer.

Think about it. One positive recommendation to management about your broadcasting skills - from a trusted employee who is personally training you – is an advantage that few other candidates will enjoy when any broadcasting job becomes available.

Can you now see why having insider contacts is every bit as important as having solid broadcasting skills?

How to Develop Broadcasting Skills AND Insider Contacts?

The question you need to first answer becomes “How can I develop my broadcasting announcing skills AND make insider contacts at the same time?”

If your answer is ‘college broadcasting’...think again. You’ll make contacts in college radio or TV, but few - or none - in the real world of sports broadcasting.

The same sad truth holds true for traditional broadcasting schools. The leap from the broadcasting school classroom to the broadcasting booth is one that you’ll have to navigate on your own, since they operate in two different worlds.

This is exactly why you need an advantage - an “Insider” advantage - which puts you on the fast track to broadcasting success.

Introducing ... The “Ultra-Insider” six month broadcaster training program - which gives you that insider advantage.

“A Hands-on Sports Broadcasting School”

Because of the hands-on training and on-the-job insider access you gain, you automatically become an “Ultra-Insider” into broadcasting. It begins in a local sports radio station of your choosing. A sportscaster from that station will serve as your own personal mentor-instructor. And with the SMG program, you’re able to get exactly the training situation you’re looking for.

• YOU choose the radio station or sports team to train with, from over 312 markets throughout the U.S. and Canada.
• YOU choose your training days and times, from many available.
• YOU choose the format – Play-by-Play, sports radio hosting or sideline reporting – based on your goals and interests. And …YOU don’t need to relocate

What makes SMG different?

Real life in-station or team training: “It’s not WHAT you know, but WHO you know!”

In sports broadcasting, your biggest challenge is ‘getting your foot in the door’ for your first job. To make that happen, you greatly benefit from any advantage that makes employers aware of who you are, and confident in your abilities. To get your ‘foot in the door, though, you’ll need a sound strategy.

The “Ultra-Insider” Broadcaster Training program is your sound strategy. That’s because it provides you personal access to influential broadcasters and principal decision makers even while you’re training.

“What’s the cost of all these advantages?”

What value would you place on having your dreams for a career in radio broadcasting turbo-charged by the assistance of professional broadcasters guiding your path every step of the way? Well, we were faced with that question.

We thought about asking the $11,400 price you’d pay a traditional broadcasting school for a few months of training. However, that wouldn’t fit with our belief that this program should be available to as many talented newcomers as possible.

For that reason, we decided to make your 6 month “Ultra Insider” mentorship ultra-affordable, not even charging the nearly $8000 fee that other mentorship programs charge – even though SMG is the only all sports broadcasting mentoring program available.

When you make the decision to become an “Ultra Insider” with SMG’s assistance, and take action today, you get the entire package of products and services described above for the one-time affordable investment of only $7297. Better yet, you’ll receive an $800 discount when you pay in full – bringing your cost down to $6497. That’s 56 percent off the cost of the nation’s largest broadcasting school!

What’s more, the entire cost of your training may be tax-deductible. (Check with your tax advisor to see if you qualify.) And we conveniently accept: MasterCard – Visa – Discover. What’s more, there are even more methods of making your dream of Radio Broadcasting affordable:
