Hi Forum - my first post! 8)

I know you all listen to the local station, 2BR, but incase you fancy something different today, MCR is on-air from Mount Carmel RC Science College on 87.7FM.

It finishes at 6pm so tune in and have a wee listen to the kids! Its a training excercise ya'see.

Post any views here!

I can't listen to the radio at work, but will tube in on my way home.  When i was at school id of loved to of done a radio station!  :D
 
Wow that was quick!

I can't tune in either but I'd be interested to know what you think!
 
Why don't they do some work instead of playing at shock jocks? Is this what the taxpayer's money is going on? These kids should stick to the 3 'R's enforced by a length of bamboo cane thats what I say - and if they can't do that then send 'em out to work......no wonder the kids are out of control......
 
Tuned in the Mount Carmel radio station, good selection of music, interviews etc.... in reply to the above, maybe from getting this kind of experience it will broaden their options when they leave school, and give them a better chance when getting a job.

I know I would have liked to have the chance to do something like that when I was at school.

Well done and keep up the good work Mount Carmel. Quite professional job.

Which pre-historic decade are you stuck in Tealeaf  ;D
 
MCR finishes tomorrow evening (Fri) at 6pm.  Can't listen at work but have listened after, not to bad.  Daughter has been able to listen to it in some lessons today.  All i can say "Is well done to all concerned."
 
Hi all, this is my first post. I'm Michael and I'm a presenter on MCR and would like to thank you all for you comments, we've been reading them and they've helped us to style our programmes.  :)
 
Good evening this is Pinky's mum, WHY do they call him that???  :-/

I tuned in to MCR today and I must say that I was quite impressed, I thought I must reply to Tealeaf's post regarding "the kids are out of control".

These young people, (I call them young people rather than kids because each one of the presenters came across as very professional and organised individuals) are learning life skills that will stay with them and stand them in good stead in their future careers.

These skills cannot be taught without practical, hands on experience.  My hat goes off to Mount Carmel for giving them opportunities that where not available when I was at school.

A Waste of tax payers money?  I think not!!
 
Well said mum of pinky.Practical experience cannot be replaced by books.Also gives you an insight in to what you could be getting in to in later life.
 
I agree with pinkys mum,give the kids a chance, just because they are young does'nt mean they know nowt.

Sorry! I thought it was yesterday  :o :-X

Quite a few other schools in East Lancashire have done a similar broadcast, and they have all gained from the experience I'm sure. Well done MC.

We had nowt like that in my day....  ;D
 
I take it "finished at 6pm" means finished permanently. Good. Get the kids back to what they should be doing, i.e. learning. Thats whats schools are for.

If all you trendy do-gooders want the kids to play around on the radio, then buy 'em a CB set or set up a local radio station. But don't do it with my money. Taxes are being wasted on enough drivel without funding this nonsense as well. :o :o
 
Hello!

Sorry couldn't tune in but I have a question: What is Mount Carmel Science College? Is it the new name for the sixth form? As an ex-pupil I am intrigued..... can you let me know Pinky?

Try not to take much notice of tealeaf people. Hes just looking to wind people up.
Its a little bit of envy as they have nothing like this at his school, i think he should be due to  leave soon and at 47 years old not a minute too late!!! ;D
