STUDENTS have been creating waves with the launch of a new radio station.

New College Durham media production students' live radio show, Fram 107, is broadcasting within a ten-mile radius of Durham City until this Friday.

Up to 40 first and second year students are involved in the project, doing everything from presenting and producing to organising play lists and interviewing guests.

Fram 107 broadcasts from the media room at the college and is run as a professional radio station, subject to Ofcom regulations.

The students are studying for BTEC National Diploma in media production, which includes print journalism and video, as well as radio.

It is the fourth year that media students at the college have been involved in the successful live broadcast of a radio station.
