► Get Involved
There are so many good reasons to get involved in the student radio, and it's really easy! We all love to see new faces, and the more people who join us, the more diverse and varied our shows and work will be.
You could email one of the execs, or just turn up to the music team meetings.
The Music Team
Led by the two Heads of Music, the music team also acts like the weekly NSR general meeting. All of the cds, demos, tickets and freebies are given out at these meetings, and also a place where you can get to know other people in the radio. Unlike societies, NSR is a 'sub council', which means you don't even have to pay a joining fee, like other societies.
Getting your own show
You need to e-mail the head of programming with a brief outline of what it will be about, the slot length (normally one hour, but sometimes 2), the name of your show and who will be involved. You will need to sign a simple contract stating that you will abide by our terms & conditions. Nothing scary, just things like - you can't swear before 7, no eating or smoking in the studio, you must lock up after your show, you're responsible for the equipment during that hour etc. Don't worry; you will be give training before your first show, and a more experienced member of NSR will most likely sit in for the first half hour to make sure you're doing ok.
Reviews and Interviews
A lot of the time gig tickets are doled out at meetings, and interviews arranged through our promotion companies, but if you have a review or interview, or pictures, that you want to be put on this website, please send them in to the Heads of Music and they will make
sure they end up on this website.
Otherwise, please turn up to our music meetings. If there is a band in Newcastle that you wish to interview or review, and we haven't mentioned it, email the Heads of Music and they will try to get you there.
Technical Team
If you have experience, or want to improve your technical abilities, please consider joining our technical team. You'll learn how to set up and maintain a fully functioning radio station, as well as learn to use specialised radio equipment and programs. This will include live sessions with bands, outdoor events, DJing and generally looking after the studio. If you want to be loved by everyone in the station, be one of the technicians!
Of course, you could always get involved by just listening to the shows
