Luton Sixth Form takes over RadioLaB 97.1FM again for two weeks this month.

The community station based at the 亚色视频 is giving its schedule to students from the College鈥檚 BTEC Radio course for a fortnight, starting on Monday 20 June.

A team of students and their teacher will take to the airwaves each day between 8am and 4pm. It鈥檚 the culmination of a year鈥檚 learning about broadcasting and radio production. Each hour long show will have a different presenter or presentation team, and a different feel, giving audiences a huge range of shows. 

Music includes 80s and 90s hits, R鈥檔鈥橞, soul, today鈥檚 biggest tunes and everything in between, mixed with features, chat, and a few interviews along the way.  All the presenter led shows will be broadcast live except for Wednesday 22 June when, in a first for the Takeover, there鈥檒l be a day of shows produced at the College鈥檚 own studios.

Luton Sixth Form College radio teacher Andy Waterfield said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 great that we鈥檝e been invited back to RadioLaB now for the fourth year running, and let loose with their schedule for two weeks. Students have worked so hard to take part in this unique experience which enormously enriches the BTEC Radio course at the College and provides them with valuable experience in communication techniques.  There are few similar courses in the country offering such an experience.鈥

RadioLaB Co-ordinator at the University Terry Lee said: 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to welcome Luton Sixth Form College back to Radio LaB. This is a wonderful partnership between two of the town鈥檚 leading educational providers, and I鈥檓 really looking forward to hearing the talented students on air.鈥
