Want to be on the Radio?

Do you want your band, night, or whatever else you might do as part of the West Midlands music scene to be featured on the radio?

Scratch Radio based at Birmingham City University is a community and Student run station and as of 2009 will be on the internet all year round.

A big part of the station is reflecting what goes on around the region in terms of music.

This will be done through various ways across the station but one of the things I'm involved in is a show the is all about highlighting West Midland artists, promoters, websites, podcasts, venues and whatever else makes up the West Midlands music scene.
