Radio Airbourne Auditions for Local Talent
Aspiring DJs will have a chance to audition for their own prime time
radio show, as Radio Airbourne 87.7FM brings back its X-Factor
style DJ competition. Run by Eastbourne Borough Council, radio
enthusiasts of all ages can compete for a slot on the station by
sending in a 5 minute audition tape, with the winner hosting their
own hour long show at the arena on Sunday 17th August.

Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Economy,
Tourism & Environment, Councillor Steve Wallis said “This is
a fantastic opportunity for a budding DJ to gain some behind
the scenes production experience and mentoring from some
experienced broadcasters. Who knows, this could be a launch
pad for the next star of radio.”

The entries will be judged on vocal abilities and lively content,
with just five minutes to impress judges who include Jon Robson
(formerly BBC Radio 1 production) and Radio Airbourne’s very own
Mr Nasty, Station Manager Ian Harling.

Ian said “It is going to be a tough fought competition, but only the
best can make it. We are looking for raw talent so experience isn’t
essential, just a good voice, interesting dialogue and the desire to
be number one.”

The winner will get to spend a full day with the team working behind
the scenes and will receive a recording of their show on CD.
For those who prefer to stay behind the scenes, a work experience
placement also exists for a Production Assistant, giving a valuable
insight into the running of a busy radio station. Radio Airbourne
87.7FM joins the airwaves from Monday 11 August through to
Sunday 17 August, broadcasting live commentary, pilots interviews,
traffic and weather updates and a range of great music. Catch up on
the latest flying news and previews 24 hours a day.
