PURE FM EGM

On Thursday 24th January, Pure FM will be holding a members EGM where we’ll be electing two new committee positions and updating our members with the latest news and information. Click HERE to join the Facebook event.

Committee roles are a great way to gain and develop important skills such as leadership, team work, decision making, event planning, production and many more.

DEADLINE HAS NOW BEEN REACHED
We’ll see you at the EGM on Thursday 24 January  

SALES & FINANCE MANAGER

The holder of this role will be responsible for the running and management of the Pure FM ‘B’ account, liaising with the Media Coordinator about purchasing, and opening and maintaining dialogue with local and national businesses regarding possible sponsorships. The holder must also update the committee with the state of Pure FM’s accounts, organise the payments of member deposits, and the financing of Pure FM events (including socials and conferences). The position holder should be able to work as a team member within the committee. In return the position holder will receive training and support from the Union, the opportunity for skill set development and recordable extra-curricular involvement.

TRAINING MANAGER

As Training Manager you will be responsible for the orientation and training of all members on the use of Studio 1. This will require in-depth knowledge of both the equipment and systems. You will need good time management and organisation skills in order to make sure all members are trained up and have signed their On-Air Agreements. You will maintain a checklist of the members trained and liaise with the Programme Controller to ensure that all members are trained before broadcasting. On request you may also be asked to train members on the OB and PA kits, so will need a working knowledge of these as well. The holder will also be responsable for the maintainance of the training manual.

Rooms of the Blotched Silhouettes

Title:  Rooms of the Blotched Silhouettes

Venue: The Wiltshire Building   (PO1 2EG)

Date: 15th May

Start Time: 6 pm- 8pm (roughly)

 Synopsis: 

‘I really didn’t know quite how to tell you…. but your shoelaces are undone….’

Rooms of the Blotched Silhouettes wades through the tangled world of human behaviour. Drunken salsa dancing, bitter lovers, sleazy psychos, amnesia-struck housewives, birth, dust and Cuban cigars. It’s fragmented, frenzied and repetitive in nature. A kaleidoscopic journey through the dislocation of our mind’s experience with relation to the people we accidentally bump into, the hidden places we don’t see, the dreams we cannot remember, the seams we come undone at. Rooms of the Blotched Silhouettes is a performative site-specific installation created and performed by the Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance students in the passages of the Portsmouth Wiltshire building.

Price:  No entry charge but we will ask for donations (around £5)

Capital FM Talk with Zoe & Gillies

Zoe & Gillis this morning we’re at Purple door in Portsmouth this afternoon to talk to a group of University students about the best of getting into the radio industry. A large number of our presenters here at Pure FM attended and asked many vital questions such as:

Do you think it’s important to have a degree in the surround subject of radio?

To which they answered it’s more about the personality and their interest of getting into radio that is important, although education is important.

Another question asked was:

Do you believe there is a time as to how long you should talk in-between songs, for example 2 minutes? Or do you stop when you think your waffling?

They answered that it is important that you know what you want to get across in that link. If you start waffling you tend to bore people so it’s important that you keep to economically structured when talking.
