Off air

We sometimes go off air when we're working on an update behind the scenes or if it's a holiday. Whilst we're having a break, why not check out our podcasts for a little easy listening?

Coming up

That's it for now!

Our schedule is empty, but check back later for new shows to come!

About us

Studies: MA Film & Television: Research & Production

Deputy Station Manager involves a lot of people management (and I mean A LOT). Show hosts who are a little rowdy or committee being little stinkers and not doing their job? I'm there with a stern look on my face and a raised eyebrow to put them in check. Keep them in line as the kids these days say.

I once got intercepted by David Hasselhoff's entourage as I was trying to get him to sign my copy of the Spongebob Squarepants movie on DVD.
