Why student radio is still special

From Nights, 11:06 pm on 1 November 2024

The Mighty Aotearoa Alternative Awards, the biggest night of the year for student radio, are being held tomorrow night in Ōtautahi, Christchurch.

The annual awards acknowledge the broadcasters and musicians who champion our independent, alternative music industry

So we thought we better get a student radio alumnus on the show and we have none other than RNZ's Maggie Tweedie to tell us why student radio still rocks.
