EDGE RADIO TO LAUNCH
AMPLIFIED WEEK
In celebration of Amplified 2011, Edge Radio will launch its first ever ‘Amplified
Week’.
Amplified 2011 is set to showcase a huge variety of the very best in Tasmanian
music, as well as provide important opportunities for artists and industry workers to
learn from some of the leaders in the music industry.
From Monday, August 15, Edge Radio will be running ‘Amplified Week’. Throughout
the week, listeners will be able to hear Tasmanian music on high rotation, as well as
special interviews and performances with local artists. Even the occasional Amplified
delegate will be jumping on the Edge airwaves for a chat.
The Edge Radio website (www.edgeradio.org.au) will feature a handy Amplified 2011
calendar which will display all of the Amplified 2011 events, gigs, and workshops.
The calendar will also list the interviews and performances you can hear on Edge
Radio throughout ‘Amplified Week’. Also set up on the Edge website will be a special
Amplified podcast channel.
Edge Radio Program Director, Brad Duence, said “We are really excited to be
working with CMST and Amplified this year to deliver ‘Amplified Week’, it feels like a
very natural fit for us. Edge has always been the major radio supporter of Tasmanian
music, and Amplified 2011 is a chance to not only celebrate the very best of our local
music industry but nurture it as well.”
Edge Radio proudly supports Tasmanian music with over 1500 Tasmanian tracks on
rotation, as well as our longest running program, ‘Tasmusica’ (Tuesdays, 8pm). Edge
Radio also offers online support through the Tasmanian Music Downloads page on
www.edgeradio.org.au.
Edge Radio’s ‘Amplified Week’ begins next Monday, August 15 and runs
through to Sunday, August 21.
The ‘Amplified Week’ online calendar will be available to view from 9am
tomorrow morning on www.edgeradio.org.au
