The Hillz Radio in Coventry are expected to broadcast their 4th live programme. The radio station and Music Generation would like to include up to 4 Asian radio slots during this time.

If you are keen to get involved, then Music Generation would like to hear from you.

What is involved?
1. Attending two training sessions to help you learn how to make best use of the equipment at the Hillz Radio station, two lots of 2 hour training sessions with Dan Finnan will take place. You must attend these.

This opportunity will help maximise the quality of your shows, but also provide you with an invaluable learning experience, in broadcasting and Information technology.

The first training session will take place during the week 22 January 07 and the second will take place during the week of 29th January 07 – the sessions will take place between 10:00 and 12:00, on negotiable dates.

2. Signing up to the programme code before broadcasting in February 2007, you will be required to sign the programme code.

3. Presenting up to four shows over four weeks. The available programme slots are yet to be confirmed, and would involve shows of up to two hours at a time. The shows will broadcast in the Coventry area on a FM frequency.

What type of person?
If you have the confidence to speak over the airwaves and use modern IT equipment, then getting involved with this project is perfect for you. It is also important that your knowledge of Asian music is fairly broad. You will be encouraged to bring your own music; although Music Generation can obtain a large collection from Paradoxx.Biz. Pirated/copied music is strictly prohibited.

Does it all stop in March?
No, the radio shows will continue to broadcast over the internet. At this moment, we are looking for people who want to present shows and broadcast Asian music specifically in February 07.

Asians only?
No! The project is not targeted at Asians alone; the purpose of Music Generation involvement is to increase the representation from the Asian community. Hopefully, the Hillz Radio can have some shows with Asian music, including Bhangra and Bollywood styles. If however you are not Asian and want to get involved, you’re encouraged to contact us as well.
