‘ON-AIR – THE NEXT RADIO STAR’ HUNT IS NOW UNDERWAY
Bauer Media Audio Ireland has launched its biggest ever search for new talent.
'On-Air - The Next Radio Star' is a huge effort by the group to increase diversity and representation across its music and entertainment stations.
Kicking off earlier this summer, SPIN Southwest hosted an open day at the Crescent Shopping Centre inviting interested and aspiring radio presenters to come along, meet some of the current radio personalities and DJs and content editors, and put themselves forward to secure a spot on the programme.
After much deliberation, SPIN Southwest have now chosen six new interim presenters per station, resulting in six new voices on air on Irish radio. Some of the shows will feature a vibrant blend of English and Irish.
After undergoing a training and mentorship series from industry professionals, the six candidates will each present a show live on air on SPIN Southwest every Sunday for four weeks. After the six months, one candidate will land a paid contract to host their own on-air residency on Irish radio.
'On-Air - The Next Radio Star' sees its first batch of candidates take to the airwaves this weekend. Tune into Sarah Mc Ternan this Sunday, 20th October from 9 – 10PM.
SPIN Southwest also look forward to welcoming Dara O Cinneide, Godswill Jonas, Jack Lyons, Tadgh Kennedy and Vanessa Rosa in the coming months.
Keep an eye on SPIN Southwest for more information on candidates.
This project is co-funded by Coimisiún na Meán under the Sound and Vision Scheme
