Be aware that there are many rip off artists running "broadcasting schools" out there. They will take your money and teach you things but the piece of paper you end up with at the end is a joke. The Toronto equivalent of this is: http://www.nibtv.com/default.php

I have spoken to many radio personalities and they have all pointed out that this place is a joke. Many of the people I know in radio received their start working in campus/community radio. Others went to community college or University to study journalism/broadcasting.

I would take Martian's advice and call the local station and have a chat. By the end of that chat get them to give you some other names of people with whom they think you should speak and carry on from there until you either learn how to get in by understanding the business or are offered a job.
