Nottingham Trent’s student radio station celebrates 25 years
Published: 14/03/2022
Fly Live is marking 25 years of serving students at Nottingham Trent University with a 25-hour marathon show. This fantastic show will begin at 1pm on Monday 14 March finishing at 2pm on Tuesday 15 March.
Hosted by current station manager Harry Briggs, who picked up Silver for Best Presenter at the latest Student Radio Awards. The show will also have over 25 former presenters such as Radio 1 presenters Jack Saunders, Alice Dale and Kerrie Cosh.
It will also feature Capital FM presenters Tom Watts, Claire Chambers and Ben Sheppard, Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter Christian Hewgill and Radio X presenter George Godfrey.
If listeners enjoy what they’re hearing they’re encouraged to donate to Mind, a local mental health charity and Fly’s official annual charity for 2022.
I’m so delighted to be asked back on to feature as a part of this. I can’t believe what’s it’s grown into! I thought starting a student radio station would be a vote winner in my bid to become president of the Student Union but it’s become so much more than that now.”
Ben Morrison, Founder of Fly Live and former and President of Nottingham Trent’s Student Union
