Chance to get on the airwaves as BCfm seeks local talent

By Emily Olika  Thursday Aug 19, 2021

BCfm is on the lookout for aspiring radio presenters, newsreaders, podcasters, as well as musicians, singers, personalities, comedians, poets and more.

The radio station based in Easton Community Centre is hosting an open day on Bank Holiday Monday, August 30, from 10am to 4pm, offering local talent and the general public the chance to visit the studios and meet the team.

There will be a chance to get on the airwaves, grab some food and hear about the wide range of opportunities available.

Speaking about the event, station manager Pat Hart said: “Coming out of difficult times, there is a lot pent up talent and creativity from across the city ready to be shared.

“It is also important for us to reconnect with our diverse listeners and audiences.”

Easton Community Centre is operated by Eastside Community Trust, which is supporting the open day with community event funds.

Stacy Yelland, the CEO of Eastside Community Trust, said: “Eastside Community Trust hope the BCfm open day and other events we are supporting will encourage people to come together again to break the isolation and loneliness felt by many during the pandemic.”

If you would like to get involved in radio and podcasts, have something to say or share live on air, or simply just feel like being nosey, arrive any time between 10am to 4pm for this once in a lifetime chance.
