Jam FM – The Takeover

Jam FM, Run To the Fun

Fancy yourself as a DJ or Radio Presenter? Well try The Takeover! Every day during Run To The Fun between 10am and 12:20pm we offer the opportunity for small groups (around 5) to come together, work with us to plan their show and then broadcast it live on the radio! Because of demand we normally book slots so head to the radio station to book yours when on site - or you can book in advance by emailing [email protected]. Each session is around 40 minutes long. This involves 20 minutes planning and then your 20 minute show. You can talk about what you're up to on camp, why you love scouts, and even pick your songs! All shows are recorded and uploaded onto the JamFM website, so you, your friends and your family can listen again afterwards. Every Takeover presenter will receive a J...

BBC finds hidden treasure at Jam FM

Jam FM, News, Norjam

BBC Radio Norfolk and Jam FM 107.2 have completed a simulcast on both stations this morning. BBC Radio Norfolk visited Norjam, the Norfolk Scout & Guide International Jamboree, on the Norfolk Showground as part of their Sunday morning Treasure Quest show. One of the clues they needed to find was located in the Jam FM studios on site. Jam FM is a RSL radio station for the week long Jamboree run by Scout Radio. Kayleigh Poacher was presenting the breakfast show on Jam FM while BBC Radio Norfolk’s Kathrine Nash hunted for the clue. For a short time both shows were broadcast on both radio stations. Martin Steers, Scout Radio Manager, said “it’s great that the BBC and local community organisations are working together in this way. Scout Radio was set up to provide radio stations for lar...

Counties, Kent, KIJ

More than 6,500 scouts and guides from around the world arrived in Maidstone for the Kent International Jamboree to the sound of Scout Radio blasting out party tunes around the site to get the action packed week started. The Scout Radio team had arrived a few days in advance, to set up the studio in a prime location opposite the main stage. After a few weeks of scorching sun we were battling to get pegs in the ground to secure our towering mast, but a few days on and we were battling to keep the wind and rain from inside our studio! Setting up a radio studio in a field has some challenges. Jam FM was ready for a very busy week, covering every aspect of the fun filled activities both on and off site at Kent International Jamboree, with a playlist of summer anthems and old favourites to k...
