Our first program kicked off in mid-August and saw a group of young people from the surrounding housing estates each undertake a three week course run by popular PBS announcers at the PBS studios. The program was really successful, with several of the young participants planning to make a demo of a radio show and continue their learning with one on one mentoring from PBS presenters.
Access Airwaves aims to give attendees a taste of community broadcasting whilst serving to increase self confidence, networking, and encourage participation in a positive community environment. The course enables recipients to gain transferable skills in various aspects of live and pre-recorded music presentation. A second course will commence in October.
Community broadcaster PBS 106.7FM is an iconic pillar of Melbourne’s unique music and arts community. Since 1979 PBS has been a key provider of independent and diverse music.
