From Sunday 10th November until December 7th Nottingham
Trent University will be taking to the airwaves once more, with the
best new music and celebrity interaction, hundreds of prizes and the
most original some might even say, 'risqué' shows in Nottingham.
Fly FM is the only radio station in the Nottingham area to target
18 - 24 year olds, providing shows and music for students, presented
and selected by students.

Radio One Student Awards
For the second year running Fly FM has reached the
final of the prestigious Student Radio Awards - the most sought after
national awards in university radio.
We wanted to give people something different, so doing all the
extra stuff has really paid off.  |

Mountain whose show, The Lounge, has been nominated for a prestigious
award |
Last week the nominations were announced at the Student
Radio Association's Regional Radio Day hosted at Loughborough University
to reveal that 'The Lounge', has been nominated for both 'Best Show'
and 'Best Specialist Show'.
The Lounge, presented
and produced by students Adam Leventhal and James Mountain played
the latest in house music from around the world.
Elements that helped the show to stand out from other entries included
first rate turntablism, an interactive website designed by Camilla
Felstead alongside interviews with world famous DJs.
Adam and James, who won the 'Best Show' award
last year, are shocked at being nominated again: "We did believe
that our entry was compiled from some of the best work we have ever
done, but we are both extremely surprised that we have been nominated
again. It's a fantastic achievement, and we're looking forward to
going down to London again to find out if we've won. We wanted to
give people something different, so doing all the extra stuff has
really paid off."
Through winning last year's award Adam and James
flew to Miami to work alongside renown DJs including Giles Peterson,
Tim Westwood and Jazzy Jeff.
They are currently preparing to launch a new show on Radio Aire
in Leeds.
