Digital broadcasting training studio goes live

One of the country’s top radio training colleges has unveiled Ireland’s largest digital broadcast training studio.

The team behind Juice FM, based in Cork’s Colaiste Stiofain Naofa (CSN), is set to spearhead a campaign to persuade the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) to develop a new licence category for the State’s educational and training facilities.

Pete O’Neill, the course director of CSN’s two-year radio broadcasting training programme, said this licensing requirement is an area that should be addressed.
