Fresh Air kicked off live programming for its 20th anniversary year last Saturday 4th February with a house party broadcast live from Underground. This was also the launch of the most exciting Fresh Air schedule in years. Due to the recent changes to the Pleasance opening times, the number of live shows has been reducing, making competition fiercer than ever. The result is a higher standard of shows than ever before, headlined by our brand new "Live at 5" shows. Headed up by our most experienced presenters and producers, these will be our flagship programmes where for the first time new members will be able to get involved in prime time radio even if they didn't get a live show this time around.
This is Fresh Air's 20th year and to celebrate we have some massive events planned for this semester, including a 24 hour show for charity and our Teviot Takeover. In September we won the award for Best Radio Station in Scotland, a fantastic achievement for a volunteer-run station with no university funding to beat the likes of commercial giants Capital FM and Real Radio. Since then there has been a huge level of interest in the station and our members are making better radio than ever
