[cma-l] Election Night - Community Radio in the North East working together

[Fred Marden]

Journalism and Media students at the University of Sunderland, and  
volunteers at the university's community station 107 Spark FM, will be  
joining forces with the community radio sector across the North East  
on Thursday evening. It promises to be a huge night for the region's  
community media outlets, with an eight hour election spectacular that  
will be simulcast on six stations from Middlesbrough to Alnwick.

The programme will begin just before ten in the evening as the polls  
close, and be heard on 107 Spark FM in Sunderland, Spice FM and NE1 FM  
on Tyneside, Bishop FM in Bishop Auckland, Lionheart Radio in  
Northumberland and CVFM on Teesside. Reporters will be stationed at  
and reporting live from multiple counts, plus three outside broadcast  
locations across the region. The broadcast will come from 107 Spark  
FM's state-of-the-art studios at the David Puttnam Media Centre at the  
university's St Peter's Campus.

Richard Berry and Katy McDonald from Sunderland media department's  
lecturing staff will lead the team on the night, along with 107 Spark  
FM's Deputy Station Manager Lee Sevenoaks.

Tune in and hear the most exciting election night for thirty-six years  
unfold. You can hear the show on any of the participating station's FM  
frequencies, and streaming at www.sparksunderland.com
