Air 107.2 FM student takeover
The 2nd year music technology students presented their final work as a radio show on local community radio station Air 107.2fm. For 2 hours they played the music they had created for their final major project, interviewed each other, spoke about their inspiration and production methods, played influential tracks and capped it all off with a 2 hour live DJ mix. They also had to design and run a promotion and marketing campaign, which worked – the station manager reported that listener figures had more than trebled for their show – as a result of this, they have been offered a regular peak time Saturday night slot!
