KCC FM said yes!

I had a meeting on Tuesday this week at KCC FM with a view to getting involved in the said community radio station based in Huyton, Liverpool. 

Christine (boss lady) said at one point during our conversation that had she not listened to my recorded work on Looprevil, I wouldn't be sitting in front of her right now. A nice thing to say and more importantly, quite encouraging.

I was offered training in any area of radio production/presentation that I wish to explore with KCC and naturally, I excepted and will embark on presenter training on Tuesday next week.

I'm thrilled and the bonus is that I can use the station as my work-based skills learning placement for university. I did ask Christine if she would be happy to fill in the paperwork for this university project of mine and she was quite happy to oblige.

While I was at the college (where the station is based), I met some of the team who are all a ball. KCC FM opened in 2003 as an Internet based radio station, much like Looprevil. In 2009, they applied to offcom for a license to become an FM station supplying to local community with their radio product. There are now over 60 volunteers that run the station with programming from morning until night every day of the week. Last year, they counted around 50,000 listeners in the year. 

If everything goes to plan, something tells me that KCC may be a big step up towards my career goals whether in radio/music or television presentation/production. Watch this space.

Over and out.
