Jingles, beds, adverts, trails and any other sound effects are the result of the production team's sweat and toil. Often your duties will include having good ideas for adverts or jingles, producing bespoke pieces of audio, and occasionally there will be live events that require podcasts being created quickly.
This is one of the most challenging, but equally most rewarding areas of the station to participate in.
Any enquiries should be directed towards head.of.production@ury.org.uk.
What can I do at URY?
The majority of members start out as presenters, who fill our busy schedule. As a presenter, you will receive an hour training session and full access to our music database. Shows are restricted to one hour, due to demand, but you are free to do what you want and play what you want after signing the presenters contract.
Our flagship shows are Breakfast, Lunch and PM and these have longer slots. They are presented by people who have at least a year on student radio and have demonstrated enthusiasm in their broadcast. During events such as Roses or Woodstock they will be asked to promote station competitions or play specific audio.
Any enquiries should be directed towards ury@ury.org.uk.
