FOURTH YEAR French and Linguistics student Edward Fisher is to launch a radio show that will simultaneously be broadcast on URY and in France.
In addition to being with URY since 2006 and hosting international music show “Front-ears”, he was able to present a show on French radio station Fréquence Mistral during his year abroad.
Now the show will be aired in both countries from Week 6 of this term. Fisher will present alongside János Bene, Delphine Pedeboy and Maksymilian Fus Mickiewicz.
“Once we’ve perfected the formula of transmitting from URY to Mistral, I intend to work with selected DJs from the French station to produce a more two-way project,” says Fisher, speaking exclusively to Vision.
URY will be rebranding itself during Week 6, including launching a brand new website and an on-demand service. The station will also be aired in V-Bar and the Roger Kirk Centre.
Celebrations for the re-launch will include a broadcast from Vanbrugh Stalls each day as well as various other events.
“As the longest serving member currently at the station, still continuing with study in York, I can honestly say the station is significantly more proactive this year than any previous year during my time here. This year it is genuinely exiting to be a part of University Radio York,” he concludes.
All New Front-ears” is broadcast on Sundays at 6pm-10pm, available online
or at 1350 AM.
