FreshAir Radio: Radio live aus Edinburgh

Mooment...

Die Nadel wird entstaubt…

FreshAir Radio

Amateur in the good sense.

Live from Edinburgh, run by whoever's on shift tonight.

Robert Barrow surveyed his fellow Edinburgh students in the autumn of 1990 to find out whether anyone wanted a campus station, then teamed up with Eric Wilkinson to build one. Fresh Air FM went out for the first time on 3 October 1992 under a restricted service licence, in October and May bursts rather than continuously. Debt shut it down in 2002; it came back in April 2004 simulcasting online, dropped the FM from its name, and when Ofcom refused it a licence in 2006 the internet became the whole of it.

The weekly grid is student-built and half of it is talk — news, sport and arts hubs, comedy, a slot handed to The Student newspaper. The music half is society-led and specific: Soul Soc, Indie Soc, Smith's Jazz Hour twice a week, Cuban Mixtape Crisis, Rock the Ages. Every August since 2007 FreshFringe takes over, reviewing the Festival Fringe show by show.
