BUDDING broadcasters went on air in an experiment aimed at developing a switched-on approach to media courses.
Durham's New College took to the airwaves in a venture that organisers hope will become a regular fixture. The amateur station features a blend of community and topical issues and music and is staffed by media students.
On air for an initial two weeks, Fram 107 offers schools and community groups an opportunity to have their say.
Station organiser George English said: "The station will give youngsters from New College and surrounding schools a real chance to have a go at live broadcasting.
"It will mean long hours and hard work, but we hope that the students will have fun and, who knows, there might be a new Chris Evans out there waiting to be discovered."
Groups wanting to take part should call (0191) 3754332.
