Students from Cambridge student radio station CUR1350 will get to take over Radio 1 on Monday, albeit in the early hours of the morning. The student DJs will get a two hour show on the nation's favourite as part of their prize for being named Best Student Radio Station at the Student Radio Awards last November.
Commenting on the prize, CUR's former Station Manager Michael Brooks told reporters: "The level of quality [at CUR] is evident through the fact that the BBC is letting us loose on one of their biggest national radio stations BBC Radio 1, and we very much look forward to demonstrating to the rest of the UK what university students, staff and researchers from Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin can listen to on CUR1350".
The college station's newly elected SM, Martin Steers, added: "It's good to see both students from Anglia Ruskin and Cambridge University going to Radio 1. Both universities have students wishing to pursue a career in the media, and we actively recruit, support and encourage these students at CUR1350."
The CUR team will be in control of Radio 1 from 5-7am on Monday morning.
