Question

What are the primary responsibilities of a radio station's production department?

Answer 1

Production departments are responsible for the production of many things for the station.

Sound bytes for talk shows (cutting and editing interviews, etc.)

Recording commercials, editing them and putting music to them

Creating promo's for the various shows that are 5, 10 or 15 seconds long and they play during commercial times.

Making copies of shows for people who want them on CD's

Sometimes you will actually voice a commercial yourself

You might be asked to write a commercial if you're good at it

This is only a portion of the job but if it sounds fun go for it!
