I'm E-mailing you about something ridiculously exciting. I was invited to BBC 1xtra yesterday to talk about building a relationship between 1xtra and Student Radio in London and EA. It turns out that they really want to get students involved in the station and also get them on-air! This will probably start happening in early 2012 as we are in discussions about the nature of On-Air content. However, I have asked if they could run tours around the Radio 1 building as a start and this will most likely be starting before december. I'll get in touch about the tours when I have more info. Basically I am trying to find some talent, from within your stations, that you think would be relevant to the BBC Radio 1xtra audience. I'm looking for DJ's, Urban music presenters and anyone that fits the bill. I will then put these people forward to Rebecca Frank, an executive producer at 1xtra. I would be really grateful if you could send me... -The name's of 3 or 4 suitable people from your station -A short biog about them/their show -A 2-3 minute audio demo of their material -The time their show actually broadcasts I understand that not all of your stations will have finished schedules yet, so just send me as much of the above as you can. It is still very early days at the moment. Needless to say this will be a massive opportunity for all of student radio, your station and especially the individuals involved with the On-Air aspect. Thanks, Josh Divney p.s. In case you forgot. A week today is the I LOVE STUDENT RADIO day. It will be a must attend event with industry people such as Mark Crossley, Neil Sloane, Chris North, Vicki Blight, Jon Hillcock, Radio 1 Newsbeat, Global Radio News, BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra and much more. The facebook event is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149523271808165 and you must be attending to get on the guestlist. All information is on the FB page and more is going to be posted to it shortly. -- -- Josh Divney London and East Anglia Regional Officer The Student Radio Association Ltd www.studentradio.org.uk<http://www.studentradio.org.uk> e: josh.divney@studentradio.org.uk<mailto:josh.divney@studentradio.org.uk> m: 07867807933 Registered Office: c/o The Radio Academy, 2nd Floor, 5 Golden Square, London, W1F 9BS.
