Internet Radio is coming to THE MONTREAL RADIO TV SCHOOL.

We are setting up our own internet radio station. You’ll be able to click us on and listen to our students live or on pod cast.

Training you for the real thing at The Montreal Radio and TV School.

Virgin Radio’s * Cousin Vinny came to the school the other day to tell students how exciting his life has been since graduating from The Montreal Radio TV School.

He told the students to “think local” and spend time on “show prep” when doing their radio music show, to “practice a lot and make use of the school’s generous off class studio time”. Thanks Vince.

Sir Patrick is at Virgin too. Another one of our graduates and another Radio natural. We think he should also be doing TV. Not long ago Sir Patrick was part of the morning show with Aaron and Tasso at ‘The Q’.

We are so proud of Vinny and ‘Sir’.

Did you catch our own Lydia Patel, a recent TV graduate on New York city’s  former super model Tyra Banks, Tyra Show? Lydia was super hit!

Here’s part of an email sent to the school from Jesse.

“I’ve been screening all the callers along with getting the On Air guys sound bytes and stories at THE TEAM990. I also stayed for an hour after my scheduled shift to do street interviews. I’ve had a blast.

Thanks for everything.
Jesse”

Lydia Patel’s reactions at a strange party won her a spot on Banks’s show

By KATHRYN GREENAWAY, The Gazette October 28, 2009

Not long after she showed up for the mixer, Montrealer Lydia Patel (a TV graduate of The Montreal Radio TV School ) knew something was wacky.

“The guy talking to me kept telling me how hot I was,”Patel said yesterday during an interview from New York City. “He must have said it six different ways in about five minutes. He said he was from Bowling Green, Ky.”

Yes, there is a Bowling Green, Ky., but the young man wasn’t really trying to pick her up. He was playing a role.

Patel was sent to the social mixer by her New York agent. She knew it was some sort of audition, but didn’t have all the details. Producers for the Tyra Show were videotaping the event, monitoring the guests’ reactions to cruising techniques.

Patel’s reaction to the man’s advances, plus her style and looks, won her a spot on the show. Continue reading “Tyra picks up a Montrealer” »

For many years people have jokingly told me that I needed to “get a life”. They told me I needed to stop sitting around watching TV, and just do something constructive. However what these people don’t understand is that what they see as “couch potato” behaviour is really my lifelong passion for sports. Whether I am listening to it on the radio, watching it on TV, Googling, or even reading about it in the newspaper, my life revolves around it. I religiously watch/listen to every Canadiens, Alouettes and Boston Red Sox game, every year without missing a single one. Although I love these teams in particular, I follow all sports and don’t believe in basing my knowledge on what is told by other analysts or shown in highlights. Though I greatly respect professionals like Mitch Melnick of The Team 990 and Bob McCown of The Fan 590, I have always dreamed of having the opportunity to get on the air in the studio and give my opinion about current events in the sports world. I realize it takes a lot of training to get where these gentlemen are today, but with great confidence I also believe that they don’t know any more than I do. I am proud to believe that the greatest analysts are the biggest fans, and feel privileged and humbled that through determination and hard work,  this broadcast school, (The Montreal Radio TV School),  will help give me the chance to prove that.

How do I feel about radio you ask?

Did I really start out caring about the radio? As every young kid growing up in the 90’s I really didn’t care all that much. Why listen to this? I don’t care about the news or weather reports. That stuff is for those grownups who have problems, I am just going to go and listen to my disc man and play on my Playstation without a care in the world.

So then what turned you to radio, surely it can’t have just been old age?

In all honesty, I couldn’t stand waking up to the beeping of an alarm clock and preferred to hear music in the morning to wake up to. The first day of doing this I realized that they don’t play music at the top of the hour. Therefore I was forced to wake up hearing about the weather and news while lying in bed waiting for a song. Boy that weather in the morning is helpful. Being sent to your room wasn’t so bad, all you had to do was turn the radio on.
