To 90.9FM for two more weeks, as we continue to showcase some of the best radio talent Sydney University has to offer. Everybody is doing a fantastic job so far, so let’s all keep the energy and ingenuity up for the next two weeks and create some of the best broadcasting SURG has ever seen!

In other news, a handful of SURG members were fortunate enough to make an appearance on the Tom & Alex breakfast show last Friday (26th Feb) – as part of a flash mob of freshers invited in to the studio at the ABC. Only SURG gives you the opportunity to connect with the radio industry, so look out for more such invites and special events in the near future.

Have fun,

Michael Koziol

We’re on the air! Tune in to 90.9FM all through O-Week and beyond!!

There are a few teething problems with the transmitter – if you are unable to get a clear signal in your area, please try again very soon, it just needs to be fine tuned.

It’s SURG! Back to try our hand at radio again in 2010, and we will be broadcasting live from O-Week and through Weeks 1-3 at the one and only University of Sydney campus.

Remember to visit our stall at O-Week to register, buy a T-shirt, mingle, reminisce, and find a time slot for your show. If you’re new to Sydney University (and have somehow stumbled across this website), then good for you. We’ll be amongst the many, many O-Week stalls blasting classic SURG moments from a tinny old portable radio. Come find us!

Updates to come as Semester 1 approaches – in the mean time be sure to join the mailing list by going to the “Contact” tab and joining the SURG Google Group.

Happy broadcasting! Shout it from the rooftops people!

LIVE from Manning as part of the Verge Arts Festival, until Sep 11.

Hi all and sundry,

It won’t be too long before SURG kicks off for Semester 2. We are currently awaiting confirmation on the licensing, but broadcast should begin at the start of the VERGE arts festival, on Monday August 31.

We will keep you posted and will take requests for timeslots soon.

 Some of you may be familiar with the new radio studio in the Holme building. It is not our expectation that we will be using that studio this semester, but negotiations continue regarding its use in the near future.

 You can expect the following later in semester:

* training and development in the new studio

* a SURG industry mixer evening where you can socialise and network with industry names and fellow SURG members

Be sure to check back here for more updates, and there will be an email coming around soon.

 Regards,

Michael Koziol

Hi all!

Thanks for contributing to another great session of SURG broadcasts! We had lots of new talent this year and are looking forward to seeing everyone again next semester when we broadcast during VERGE.

We’ll try to organise a bar event for everyone to get together, drink, reminisce and tell tall tales. This will happen before the end of semester, so stay tuned

all my lust,

Michael Koziol

President
