Extensive technical and on-air experience in either radio or television is required to become a program director.
Program directors must be creative, alert, and adaptable people who stay up to date on the public's interests and attitudes and are able to recognize the potential in new ideas. They must be able to work under pressure and be willing to work long hours, and they must be able to work with all kinds of people. Program directors must also be good managers who can make decisions, oversee costs and deadlines, and attend to details.
