Five Wymondham College students launched this year's Exchange Radio 87.7FM based at Hospital Radio Norwich.
Wymondham College’s own student-run radio station, Radio WYM, was broadcast countywide across Norfolk when a selection of its presenters were offered the opportunity to host an hour long show by Norwich-based broadcaster, Exchange FM.
Linked by presenters Kate Boyes and Victoria Smith, the Wymondham College hour featured music selected by the students along with items on the credit crunch by Joe Thompson and film reviews by Dan Pemberton. Will Arundell chipped in with a slot on emerging bands, including Vanilla Kick whose lead singer Callum Duncan is at Wymondham College.
The broadcast was rounded off with a live quiz, as the girls tested the boys on their sporting, TV, film and music knowledge. Joe Thompson was the run away winner with six points.
The five students, who produced the broadcast, are all involved with Radio Wym, Wymondham College's own radio station.
Joe Thompson said: "This was a very good opportunity to experience live radio and has given us a great boost in confidence as we develop our own radio station at school."
The group pictured are Joe Thompson, Dan Pemberton, Will Arundel, Victoria Smith and Kate Boyes.
