A STUDENT has been offered his own radio show while still studying.
Chris Hakin, 17, has been taken on by Sunderland's Sun FM as a programme assistant, with his own late-night Saturday show.
Chris, who has been studying for a National Diploma in Media and Moving Images at Darlington College of Technology, said: "I wasn't expecting this and am over the moon. It has been a great course and a lot of the things I have learned I am now able to put into practise."
Tutor John Gibb said: "I am delighted for Chris, who is young, professional and very keen. He has always been able to understand the business and I am not surprised he has been taken on."
