The SURG FM Industry Night is happening on Thursday, 20 October 2011 at Heavy Feather (137 Oxford St, Darlinghurst) from 7pm.

Industry Night is our annual mixer where you get to meet real-life radio professionals: from on-air talent to producers, directors and managers.

Enjoy the free drinks, food and good company. If you’re looking for an opportunity to get in to community or commercial radio, or just to know a little more about the industry, this is a must-attend event.

We’ll also be giving out awards for those who participated in our Verge broadcast this semester – your SURG Exec have been listening to the tapes and we’ve found your best, worst, and most embarrassing on-air moments. So if you’re a member or supporter of SURG, please join us on Thursday 20 October at Heavy Feather.

Please mark your attendance on the Facebook event here:

Hi all,

Thanks for your hard work and energy over the last 3 weeks.

Next week is the concluding week of this broadcast, and it will be a big one. I know a few shows are planning special editions with extra guests and such, so do try to tune in to the station whenever possible – and call up!

We’re working on an event for Friday night…watch this space.

cheers,

Hi! On behalf of the SURG Exec I would like to welcome all our new and members, and returning old guard, for 2011.

To roughly reiterate our O-Week spiel, SURG is in a transitional phase as we move from being a temporary on-air broadcaster to being Sydney Uni’s first permanent online radio station.

We are working with the USU, the Faculty of Arts, and the Department of Media/Communications to come to an agreement about our usage of the fantastic new Holme Radio Room.

We are planning to organise a number of training sessions this Semester, arranged around MECO’s use of the studio. From July 1, we intend the online licence to commence operation and aim to be streaming live throughout Semester 2.

In addition, there will be fortnightly drinks run with the Media/Communications society. An email advising the day/time will be sent shortly.

If you haven’t yet, please join our Facebook group: “Sydney University Radio Group”. Updates and events will regularly be sent over Facebook, as well as appearing here.

Any immediate queries should be sent to info@surgfm.org or directed to myself or Annie Wylie.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Michael Koziol
