Student broadcasts on 3Bs Radio
15 August 2023
Radio Production and Podcasting students have begun an exciting new partnership with community station 3BS Radio, who are now broadcasting live from the University campus.
A weekly 15-minute local news show goes to air at 12:45 each Friday and is available to listen to online.
Visiting lecturer Simon Watts said:
“It’s a ‘win-win’ scenario: for the first time our students get the chance to produce real radio for a real audience, which is a unique and invaluable hands-on experience to learn their craft and create a portfolio of work.
In return we get to offer Buckingham a weekly local news show, reaching into all parts of the community and contributing to the continued development of 3BS Radio which is based at the University and going from strength to strength thanks to its passionate group of volunteers.”
The show is broadcast at 12:45 each Friday, and is repeated again in the news hour every Saturday. It is also available online to listen to again.
