Laine is one of the many fantastic VJ’s on TVU music television. She also hosts the Instant Request Service weekdays at noon eastern standard time on Radio U. These 2 networks are part of Spirit Communications inc located in Colombus,Ohio. She has a down to earth appeal and love for her job that made me wonder why she works for this company. So I caught up with her and asked her about her job. Here’s the interview:
How did you hear about TVU?
- I actually heard of RadioU first, since I lived in the Columbus, Ohio area. I heard of it through some middle school friends that listened. I eventually heard of TVU from going to RadioU sponsored concerts.
What made you decide that you wanted to be apart of TVU?
- I strongly believe in what’s going on here. In fact, if it wasn’t for RadioU, I wouldn’t know about a relationship with Christ. Because I found God through RadioU, I wanted to be a part of what RadioU (and TVU) were doing.
How did you become a DJ at Radio U?
- I started out as a volunteer for the street team and was asked to try out as a DJ.
How did you become a VJ at TVU?
- Once I was an established DJ, there was a need for VJs, so I was trained and became a VJ too.
What are some qualitites a potential VJ/DJ should have?
- Basically, one shouldn’t be afraid to mess up, because you will, and you’ll just have to get over it. Other than that, be yourself, otherwise TV and radio become boring!
What do you like most about your job?
- getting to hear new CDs before they come out, going to concerts for free, talking to people about how RadioU and TVU have affected their lives
Are there any humorous occurences that have taken place while at work?
- Something funny happens almost every day…
What are some of your favorite bands that are featured on TVU/Radio U?
- Relient K, Underoath, Showbread, Emery, House of Heroes
What are some of your favorite bands of all time?
- same as above, along with dcTalk and Five Iron Frenzy
Why should people watch TVU and listen to Radio U?
- The music is better than anything else out there and it will affect you POSITIVELY, while other stuff out there will bring you down.
What is the most important task you want to complete while working at TVU and Radio U?
- I’ll do whatever is needed to keep this thing going…so whatever that is, I want to do it.
