Well, it's been a good couple of weeks since we last posted a blog... So in case you've not been keeping an eye on our Facebook or Twitter, or have been living under a rock for the past week and a half, then here's the latest news from Radio Hud.
The big news is our rebrand. We've gone from this:
To this...
Which we're sure you'll all agree, looks a damn sight better than the previous one. We launched the new logo on Monday 9th September, at 12 Noon on our Facebook page, and we've had a lot of positive feedback from students and staff alike. So, when you see us at Freshers, our merchandise will have this logo on it, rather than that green and white headphone job. So, that leads us nicely on to talking about Freshers Week, which starts on Monday 23rd September.
We'll be at a lot of events, including:
Monday 23rd September sees the first event of the week - HudCrawl - Start this massive event in the SU Bar from 6pm, where Radio Hud DJ's will be providing you with some tunes!
Wednesday night is HudSocial, which sees first societies first social, including ours. We'll have a few Radio Hud DJs on for you from 7pm - 11pm. If you fancy coming down to talk to us, maybe you've got a show confirmed for this year and you want to meet some of the team, then it'd be great to see you there. Most members will be there from 8pm!
Of course, Friday is the big one - HudFest. There will be a range of Radio Hud DJ's involved, and our Station Manager may even get involved at some point, but you'll have to wait and see on that one! We'll be able to bring you a line up next week as to who's on when!
It's not just night events we'll be at. You'll be able to catch us most of the week, including Wednesday and Thursday when most of the societies do their thing, and bombard you with freebies (and/or bribes, trying to get you to sign up). Make sure you come and find us, and get some freebies from us!
Oh...and we should probably mention that we've got a couple of sponsorships this year too! We are proud
to reveal that this year, Radio Hud Breakfast will be sponsored by Camel
Club, which in turn means we can offer discounted entry to all our
members, AND we'll be running competitions throughout the year for you
and your friends to gain Free Entry! We have also joined forces with
Parish, who will be sponsoring a show on a Thursday afternoon, meaning
our members will also get discount there too. There may be a few other things in the pipeline, but you'll have to just have to wait and see about that!
We have also announced the line-up for Radio Hud Breakfast, which will run from 9am until 11am this year.
Monday - Ben Duke & Callum Wade
Tuesday - Brett Punnett & Natalie Eaglen
Wednesday - Alex Humphries & Sean Wright
Thursday - Josh Carter & Alex Humphries
Friday - Tom Maguire & Ell Davis
So, that's it for now. We'll bring you another blog during Freshers Week, so keep your eyes peeled!
