Future Radio - Frequently Asked Questions
What is ‘Community Radio’?
Community radio is a new tier of very local, not-for-profit volunteer driven radio. It is different from, and complementary to, existing independent local radio.
Community radio offers potential benefits in terms of social inclusion, local educational, training and experience, and wider access for communities, and communities of interest, to broadcasting opportunities.
I live outside of the West Norwich area – can I still get involved with Future Radio?
Yes - whilst our broadcasts focus on the west of Norwich and we give priority to volunteers from this area, we also work with a number of volunteers and organisations from other parts of Norwich and beyond.
Do I need any experience to get involved?
No, just enthusiasm and a willingness to work as part of a team! Future Radio can provide you with all the necessary training you need to get involved in community broadcasting so it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any previous experience – you can still get involved with the station.
I don’t want to do any presenting, is there anything else that I can do with the station?
Yes, there are a number of other ways you can get involved behind the scenes.
We are always looking for people to help with production work, website maintenance and other admin. When we are broadcasting on a full time basis there will be even more opportunities to work behind the scenes and learn about sound editing/production, programme planning and more. We will be running regular volunteer programmes and work experience placements – check back with us in 2007 for more information, or to register an early interest.
