விண்ணப்பம் · Apply

Send your application

It takes about five minutes. You can apply in Tamil or English.

Tell us who you are and what you'd like to do. For hosting roles, a short phone recording of you introducing a song is the best way to show us your voice — upload it to Google Drive or YouTube and paste the link.

Reporters can link to anything you've written: a blog, a school paper or a social media post.

Rather talk first?

Message the studio on WhatsApp and someone from the team will get back to you.

கேள்விகள் · Questions

Before you apply

Do I need radio experience?

No. Most of our hosts started with us. What matters is a clear voice, reliability and knowing what you want to talk about.

Do I need to speak perfect Tamil?

No. Some shows are in Tamil, some in English, and many mix both. Tell us what you are comfortable with.

Are the roles paid?

Some are. Each role above says whether it is paid, volunteer or either. Volunteers who stay with us are first in line when paid slots open.

I live outside Toronto. Can I still join?

Reporters and some hosts can work remotely. Studio roles need you in Scarborough for live shows.

Can students under 18 apply?

Yes, for the youth show and events. A parent or guardian will need to agree before you start.

Can I get a reference or placement credit?

Yes. Interns and long-term volunteers can ask for a reference letter, and we sign college and university placement forms.
