Mon 07 July, 2025
Students from Luton Sixth Form College took control of the airwaves during their annual 鈥楾akeover鈥 of the 91亚色APP下载鈥檚 award-winning community radio station, Radio LaB.
Across three days, students studying BTEC Sound Design and Podcasting hosted live shows from 鈥檚 industry-grade studios on the Luton campus. The hands-on experience allowed them to develop their technical and presenting skills while broadcasting to a real audience across the county.
The students鈥 brief was to produce vibrant, youth-focused content for listeners aged between 16 and 24. The result was a mix of upbeat music and features covering everything from pet peeves and holidays to mystery taste tests.
Jake, one of the students taking part, said: 鈥淭his is a great experience and really good fun. It鈥檚 so good to have the chance to actually go live!鈥
Listeners who missed the live shows, which were broadcast between 8am 鈥 3pm on Wednesday 2 鈥 Friday 4 July, can catch up via Radio LaB鈥檚 鈥極n Demand鈥 feature .
Terry Lee, Senior Tutor in Radio & Audio and co-ordinator of Radio LaB, added: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to welcome Luton Sixth Form College back to Radio LaB for another Takeover week. It鈥檚 always inspiring to hear their energy and creativity on air. Andy and the students bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm each year, making it a standout annual event for the station.
