Radio
Derby kicks off search for new talent
As
part of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s campaign to find and encourage new talent, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
Radio Derby is going to make someone's dream come true by beginning
a search for Derbyshire and East Staffordshire's Amateur Sports
Reporter of the Year.
The
winner gets the chance to be part of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Derby sports
team on a match day alongside the station's Rams commentator Ross
Fletcher.
They'll
summarise the game live on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Derby and then attend the post-match
press conference with the manager and players.
Their
report will be broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Derby and feature on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s
website for Derbyshire.
Gary
Andrews, Assistant Editor, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Derby, says: "The competition
is open to everyone. The only conditions are that you must be passionate
about sport and interested in broadcasting.
"It
doesn't matter how old you are or which football team you support
but you must not have been paid for work as a professional sports
reporter before.
"To
enter all you need to do is send an audio cassette or mini-disc
with three minutes of you commentating on any sporting event - whether
it's football, rugby or athletics.
"We
also want to hear your summary of the match or race - which can
last no longer than one minute."
