This week they had me dub in a lot fillers for their internet stream. I got to meet a cassie the new singer from lil wayne's featured single official girl. I also learned a lot in Nexgen (Program that runs the stations music). And towards the end of the week I was just starting to get into voice tracking for their HD 2 channel "club phusion".

This week they had me segue up the ryan seacrest show , and also put me in charge of doing his daily promos for next days shows. I am also being taught the mix bored so I can be a board op for them. I also did a little work in their scheduling program that they use to know how and when to play a track.
