The deadline for applications to host our regular show The Selector for The British Council on your own student radio station is fast approaching!
The deadline for applications is 6pm on Sunday, 1st September; we've already had a great response and are looking forward to going through all the entries.
For those that may not be aware, we are offering six student radio stations the chance to produce and present our weekly radio show, The Selector for The British Council, for a six month period, starting in October.
Launched in 2001, The Selector showcases the best in new music from the UK, covering all types of music from indie to dubstep, folk to electro. The show features interviews, mixes and live sessions and is heard in over 39 countries around the world.
Each of the six chosen student radio stations will:
- Be given a special Kit version of The Selector containing all the individual parts of the show (songs, sessions, interviews, jingles plus a script). This will enable each station to make their own bespoke version of The Selector, using their own presenter, and being as creative as they wish with all the fantastic Selector content
- Receive an in-depth production training session from ourselves here at Folded Wing
- Interview (and be interviewed by) The Selector’s presenter Goldierocks for a special SRA feature to be broadcast on The Selector
- Get the chance for a new Selector artist to come and perform at (or record a session for) their student radio station
- Have the opportunity to become a regular content provider for The Selector
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on an internationally syndicated show and become part of a team that broadcasts the show to over 4 million people each week.
For those asking questions, multiple presenters from each station can apply to host their show on the station, however only one applicant from each station can be successful.
If you work for an SRA student radio station and would like to apply, please fill in and return The Selector / SRA application form (it’s only six questions!) by 6pm on Sunday, 1st September and return to [email protected]
