Capital Business Radio


On Wednesday May 25th, we went to the Capital Business Radio in Madrid. This is a radio company that broadcasts radio shows about finance, stock markets, and businesses. I was unaware this was even a type of radio show field before this trip. Being finance and accounting major, I was in awe the entire time. The gentleman that spoke with us told how the company works and what their future goals are. One of the future goals is to expand all the way to the United States and be the most listened to finance radio show. He even told us they already have employees over in New York that watch the stock market every day and report back to them so they can tell Spain what is going on. This was unique and interesting because I just didn’t hear much about the US at any other field trip.

               My favorite part of this field trip was meeting one of the radio journalists/broadcasters. He explained what each show was about and when the shows were live or recorded. Then to conclude the trip, he took us to the actual radio booth and we were able to watch a broadcast live.

  1. I loved the laid back vibes at the radio station and it was amazing to get to see the show recorded right there in front of us.
