A Local Radio Station?
Various people have suggested that a local radio station for Muirhouse/West Pilton/Drylaw and the surrounding area might be a positive development. Some of the positive aspects of this proposal might be:
- Training opportunities for local people in radio and media (with possible links between local high school and Edinburgh College)
- Opportunities for local bands and individuals to gain experience produce demos and be given air time
- Opportunities for local projects to get their information across to the local communities
- Slots throughout the week with different types of themes ie music, younger and older audiences, new migrant communities etc
- An overall increase in artistic and creative activity in the area
Interestd? An initial meeting has been organised to discuss the possibility of creating a local radio station, and will take place on
Wednesday 12 June at 5pm
in North Edinburgh Arts Centre
15A Pennywell Court, Edinburgh, EH4 4TZ.
All welcome
