All Ireland Radio Takeover

Well this is new and fancy isn't it. Want to know more?

We touched on this at our EGM in week one and now we are here to fill you in some more. On March 2nd DCUfm will host the first ALL IRELAND STUDENT RADIO TAKEOVER. The idea is simple, loads of college radio stations from around the country come to DCU and together broadcast an uber schedule of student music, discussion, news and ultimate craic! A handful of student radio stations are on board already and this is going to be a great event.

All participants will be broken up into teams with at least a member from each student radio station on each team and given a time to broadcast. The teams will plan their show and broadcast together from the DCUfm studio situated in the Hub. Along with the stream being available on our iPhone App and on dcufm.com , the plan is for all the other stations to relay the stream on their platforms.

This gives student radio in Ireland one of the biggest potential audiences EVER. Its going to be a great event and we hope to get loads of exposure. If you have any ideas or can help us out with this one email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with AISRTO in the subject line puhlease.
