Interesting that they don't tell you what kind of announcers they're looking for. Do you have to speak a foreign language? Are they looking for someone with knowledge about a certain kind of music like country or rock? What about current events, news or political knowledge for a talk format? 

Tough to know what to put on your resume and tape given how generic the "help wanted" sign is.

Ads seem reasonable to me. Presume a quality candidate would have it in them to know and/or check the stations, figure out the formats, listen on-air or via streams, and otherwise do your homework. I don't see language as an issue here. There are probably people on this board who would qualify quite nicely. One thing I've learned over time - an interview is a two way street. Yes, answer their questions, but also show curiosity and try and find out what kind of employer is at hand and whether you're each truly a good fit for each other. The best questions IMO aren't structured as questions but initiate conversation.

The stations, at least the Hamilton ones, aren't in the formats they will be, nor are the formats announced.

I guess I had Windsor in mind (oldies), along with talk of 820 going country and 1150 oldies. There's also no indication thus far any of them will be in a language other than English. I don't know what 820 and 1150 sound like (consistently, that is) in Toronto's western burbs. But it did occur to me they might be a tad too far away for one of them to, say, replace CINA. And too close to be parallel.
