Silver FM, a community driven radio station makes a comeback after 25 years as an Easter school holiday project for local young people, between the ages of 13- 16 years old (Years 9 to 12).
The daytime radio programmes will be broadcasted on 87.9FM between 2- 6 April 2015, from a new studio at Bushey Sports Club on Aldenham Road, Bushey (near Watford).
Silver FM was started way back in the late 90’s by a group of students from Bushey Hall Secondary School, on a Restricted Service License (RSL), they were live on-air over four summer holidays (1996 – 2000).
Twenty five years later, some of students, many who went onto working in the radio industry, have reunited and are bringing the station back for Easter 2015 and inviting local schools and youth groups to put a team forward.
Silver FM is a fantastic project for students who want hands on experience of working in media or music, and looking for a creative and fun project to get involved in over the Easter holidays.
