yo radio geeks,
apologies for those of you who are not radiogeeks/geeks in general/or if you're getting this email twice!! you can stop reading now.
just a mail to let those who aren't in the Media Production Society or those who haven't tuned in in a while (sorry, no pun intended!) know about DCUfm which will go on air on monday 8th march.
there's already been a few meetings about it already but i have attached a timetable to give you an idea of what's happening and what's definite so far.
you can see there's loads of slots yet to be filled so if you think you have something to offer, email me and tell me what you'd like to do - either submit a programme (the subject is up to you) or get involved in the technical end of things).
provisionally there are already presenters for the breakfast and lunchtime shows but i am looking for a few more. if you think you've got what it takes to manage a live show like this, let me know.
the culture crawl will be a live review-type programme but stuff will need to be pre-recorded. it's very easy to do so it's a good idea for those of you who are stupmed for other ideas but still want to get involved.
the evening show will be specifically dedicated to current affairs and events and is a chance for you journos to strut your stuff. if you are able to manage a debate objectively or if you're particularly good at interviewing, i want to hear from you asap. also a good idea for those who want to cover a topic but are daunted by doing a full show on it.
i'm also looking for short pieces that can be used as fill-ins. if you've got a short humerous sketch, that's ideal.
some of you have discussed ideas for shows with me already. i want ye to come to me within the next week and give me a rough outline of what ye'll be covering, if it's to be live or pre-recorded, how many shows you want to make from the subject matter and whether they'll be one hour or half an hour in length . from there i can slot you into the timetable.
for you techies, i want to do up a rota of producers. see what suits and let me know.
keep an eye on the website (http://www.mediaproductionsociety.tk) cos i hope to post up information on it this week.
as always, any questions email me or any other members of the committee (details on web site).
time to get going on it. and yes i do know it's rag week. what's your point, man?
aideen.
