Welcome!

Due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 the TAB Radio Talent Institute has been postponed from 2020 to 2021.

• Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid large gatherings.

When the Coronavirus concerns subside we will begin taking applications for the 2021 TAB Radio Talent Institute scheduled for June 21st-30th, 2021.

The TAB Radio Talent Institute is a talent incubator at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and is one of the inaugural institute members of the National Radio Talent System. The Institute brings in broadcast professionals from around the state and country to be the Guest Professional Faculty and to teach all the sessions during this intensive 10-day summer program.

Participating professionals praise the TAB Radio Talent Institute and embrace the Institute as a “go to” place to find bright, talented young broadcasters entering the industry.

College students from universities throughout the state and region apply to be accepted into the TAB Radio Talent Institute. Once they complete the Institute they become part of, and are highlighted to the industry in the Radio Talent Farm System.

The National Radio Talent System and the Radio Talent Institute is the campus-to-career connection most students need to begin their broadcast career, and the connection for broadcasters to discover and hire entry level talent today that can be the leaders in the broadcast industry tomorrow.
