Radio and Tv are VERY difficult industries to break into, your coveted degree means squat against experience at the moment so don't be too precious about what jobs you apply for in the industry. Network, find and make contacts-do this by attending seminars, workshops and keep in touch with others off your course, think about doing pro bone work to beef up your experience on your resume and call, pester go in person to the people you want to hire you.
I know plenty of people who have media degrees then had to start at the bottom as runners - I also know someone with no experience who got a job as a cameraman because he met a producer on holiday (life is not fair)
It's tough I thought a degree entitled me to a job (what more do they want they from me!!), but found this is not true, but hang in there, expect it to be shitty for a little bit and it'll come together
