'World Broadcast' video
Over
20 students contributed to this live to air broadcast from the
school on the 20th of May 2005.
Paula Wreidt, Minister for Education in Tasmania, appeared as
a guest on the program to participate in the event. The show
was recorded and relayed via the internet to the college’s
sister-schools in China and Japan; the live international
broadcast being a first for the Tasmanian Education
Department.
The
event was filmed with the assistance of Roar Films. Footage
was later presented at the World Expo in Aichi, Japan.
The Manager of International Affairs will traveled to Aichi in
June to showcase the program before a board of world
educational leaders.
The
broadcast took six months of solid planning, Edge Radio and
Elizabeth College being responsible for programming and
technical development. The
project was supported by the ‘Office of Youth
Affairs’, the ‘Tasmanian Community Fund’ and 'The
Foundation For Young Australians - Youth For Youth
Investments' program.

College Schoolies 'live at lunch' broadcast
The
Hobart
College Schoolies team conducted a live broadcast before their
student body on the 27th of July 2005 with special guest John
Safran.
Melbourne
based comediam John Safran has spent much of his journalism
career involved with community radio, having hosted a show on
Melbourne’s 3RRR, and rearranged his schedule to fly into
Hobart specifically for the event.
The
project was supported by the ‘Office of Youth
Affairs’, the ‘Tasmanian Community Fund’ and 'The
Foundation For Young Australians - Youth For Youth
Investments' program.
The
2005 TasMusic Rock Challenge Live Broadcast
The TasMusic Rock Challenge is the State's premiere youth music event, and Edge Radio
brought the finals live to air in 2005.
In August over 1500 screaming fans piled into Albert Hall Launceston to watch Tassie’s finest emerging acts. Edge Radio brought the concert live to the airwaves
for the first time.
Due to popular demand Edge Radio aired 2-hour highlights
replay in November. Over 23 young Tasmanian artists received
live recordings of their performance, and we are currently
arranging a statewide radio replay with other Tasmanian
stations.
