In a nutshell, NE1fm is Newcastle upon Tyne's first full-time FM community radio station, licensed by ofCom.
What does that mean? Well, for 365 days of the year, for at least the next 5 years, regular people from the community will have the chance to experience what it's like to make a radio station happen.
WE ARE ON AIR NOW!
Training Opportunities:We're not just about presenting shows, before you set foot in the studio for your first live show you'll be trained to use the equipment, have the opportunity to earn an NVQ, and learn many more radio related skills.
Unique Programmes:As each show is responsible for choosing what music or speech they wish to feature (within the taste and decency guidelines) each show is very different to that found on other stations.
Volunteers Needed:We're also looking for people who don't want to go on air, but want to experience the unique atmosphere of a lively, evolving community radio station.
At the end of the day, NE1fm is a vital part of the community. It will offer a voice to those who are normally ignored, give opportunities to those who've had none, and keep the community informed and involved. It will reflect the diversity of the communities across the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, and bring them closer together.
Try out your best radio face!
