College Radio - Flirt FM in Galway

Miguel_Sanchez

Well I'm interested in getting involved in Flirt FM in Galway this year. As far as I know it's a collaborative effort between GMIT and NUIG.

Has anyone here ever had anything to do with it? How easy/hard is it to get on the air?

I'm not entirely sure.

You *could* trying PM'ing "Deco" on boards here.
He did a show with a mate during the year.
He could point you in the right direction at least.

I know people who've done it .Just get in contact with them and I'm sure they'll give you a try.Go in on the societies day or just go in yourself to their station.

Thanks Cosmos. I sent them a mail a few days back but still no reply.

I'm a GMIT student so I don't even know where the station actually is in NUIG - any directions would be appreciated. When I'm back down in Galway I'll probably give them a call and see what the craic is.

Afaik Cloud still does the Ambient Zone during the week.
Aren't ye getting your own sub-station up there?
About time, too much shite-hawking going on down this end tbh.

RE: Directions, it's located at the corner of Aras Uí Cathail nearest the sports centre (Aras na MacLéinn) / College Bar.
If you get stuck just ask someone. Unless they're a stuck-up tonk or Clare-foreign you should have no hassle finding help

Yup we have the throwaways from NUIG up in the new building of GMIT now. I'm recording my first show tomorrow (Thursday) morning. There's only pre-recording facilities up there so I'm not sure when my show will be broadcast - probably the Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

I would like to get up and do a live broadcast at some stage but I suppose it'll all be up to Aine, the new station manager.

Heh, just don't keep referring to "our listener" (or call Prince "the artist currently known as 'pretentious w***er'"). Or ask "our listener" to phone in and tell you whether records are played from the inside out or outside in. Just a few lowlights from my last Wired (UL/MIC/LIT) show a few years back.
