We are always looking for fresh and original ideas for shows on ASR. Before applying, think about what you and your show will bring to the station.
Most importantly you should consider your audience. Who are you aiming your show at and what can you offer them that no one else can?
Some considerations which you should include in your application:
Please email your application to asr@abdn.ac.uk with the subject “SHOW APPLICATION”
You will hear back from the programme controller to arrange a date for you to make a demo of your show in the studio. After this you will hear if you have been successful.
Are you interested in news and current affairs and want to be part of a team reporting on all the latest news from Aberdeen and beyond? Do you want to report on the Arts scene but don’t have time for a full show? News is the place for you!
The ASR News Team broadcast a weekly, hour long news show on the station. Each week you can pitch your idea for a story you want to do that week at the production meeting.
From there you will be able to investigate and report the story, writing and recording your own script for your slot in the show. After you have recorded you will be able to edit the piece before it is broadcast on the final show.
ASR News will give you brilliant skills in copywriting, audio editing and show production.
On and Off-Air opportunities are currently available.
You can apply to join the News Team by emailing asrnews@abdn.ac.uk with the subject “GET INVOLVED”
Are you interested in working behind the scenes at ASR?
Join the Technical Team to help with anything from editing the website to solving technical problems in the studio.
You will be part of the team which is responsible for fixing the studio equipment if it should break as well as helping to set up any live events we have.
No previous experience is required but you must be keen to learn how to use different equipment and enjoy problem solving.
Email asrtech@abdn.ac.uk with the subject “GET INVOLVED” if you would like to join the team!
