This Wednesday 13 February, the Broadcast Amsterdam team bring you 12 hours of live local radio (in English), direct from our studio at Stellar Amsterdam on the Kinkerstraat.

Running from 09:00 in the morning until 21:00 at night, we’ll have live radio hosts to talk you through your day in Amsterdam, with local news and events, some chat and a pretty good soundtrack to match.

We’re celebrating World Radio Day, but it’s also a taste of things to come on Broadcast Amsterdam radio, as we start launching our live shows this week.

We’ve got seven delightful local radio hosts lined up for you as follows, plus Deena behind the scenes:

Disclaimer: We only decided to do this 12-hour broadcast a few days ago and pretty much all of the team will be using our studio for the first time live. So wish us luck. 

Listener challenge

And we’d like to set a little challenge for the day. We need to increase our audience figures to make the radio station sustainable. If you don’t use it, you lose it!

So we need all our listeners to help snowball the broadcast during the day so that we reach, let’s say … at least 200 unique listeners over the day. 

OK, let’s go.
