Document · part of 8(B). Option B, Radio Broadcasting

8(B)(2). Write and record half an hour of radio

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 8: which ONE of the five options?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A programme schedule for station "KBSA" of exactly one-half hour (music, news, commercials and proper station identification) recorded on audiotape or in a digital audio format using proper techniques. The biggest single piece of work in this option.

Note. Exactly one-half hour, including music, news, commercials and proper station identification, recorded using proper techniques. This is the single largest piece of work in Option B and it is worth blocking out time for rather than fitting around the other four parts.

Where this step comes from

  1. Radio Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 8(B)(2) · States "exactly one-half hour" and the four content types the schedule must include.
