Get Involved!
So you want to get involved in radio? Good choice! If you any have queries, please drop us an email getinvolvedinradio@forgetoday.com
Here, at Forge Radio, there is something for everyone. To sign up up for a show and get on the mailing list you will need to attend Activities Fair on the 22nd of September.However, we know you might be busy, so here’s the list of what you can do and who the best person to speak to is:
Presenting: Want your voice to be broadcasting online and across Campus? If you have some ideas for a show, come along to our welcome meeting and get your voice heard. You can pretty much play the music you like (providing it’s clean) and we have a variety of shows to suit you. Whether you like the new and current music of a playlist show, or maybe off-playlist giving you free reign for an entertainment show, or if you’re a hardcore indie fan (or any genre) a specialist show would probably suit you, or maybe you just like talking about a topic, which would leave spoken word.
If you’re interested, speak to Sam, radio.programming@forgetoday.com
Music Committee: Like new music? Want to hear it before anyone else? The music committee decide our playlists and get to listen to all the new releases as they come in. Does this sound up your street? Well there is also the chance to interview artists that you love, as well as the odd guest list here and there for your favourite gigs.
For more details, speak to Danni, radio.music@forgetoday.com
Production Committee: Do you like making stuff? Interested in jingles and beds? (They are the clips you hear on the Radio, or music behind someone talking to you and me) Well, if you are, the production committee help make everything. They are responsible for the Station Sound and its audible branding, so that every show can sound similar. They’ll help make stuff for your show, as well as making an overall weekly highlights package and adverts across the station.
If you’re interested, speak to Jack/Sophia, radio.production@forgetoday.com
News Team: Is news and current affairs more your thing? Want your opinion heard? Or to research news items across Sheffield? We do a 60 minute update everyday, which is played on all playlist and off-playlist shows, as well as 2 News Shows within the week. This year it’s all about the Students, we’ll be focusing on what everyone gets up to and making sure the news is relevant to you.

Sports: Is sport more your thing? Do you follow all the teams and/or have an interest in all the Sports Teams in the University. The Sports Team act a little like the News Team. They have a Sports Show called the Sports Desk where they all get together and talk sport.
Speak to Richard, if interested, radio.sport@forgetoday.com
Tech: Like plugging things in and wanting to know how they work? Well our Tech Team are the people that literally make Forge Radio work. They look after all the equipment and help put together Outside Broadcasts, as well as monitor the servers and all the other stuff we have. They are the first point of call if anything goes wrong.
