School Bell
Radio Show
By Annabel Macaulay
East Coast FM is a local radio sta on that has just been granted an FM licence.
On the sta on every weekday from 6?8pm there is a live show called the
“School Bell” show. The show is for high school pupils in East Lothian to present
their own radio show. Dunbar Grammar School’s show is on every Monday at
the usual me and it is really fun. We currently have 6 presenters who are very
interested in radio!
East Coast FM provides great experience for anyone who is interested in radio.
The sta on also hold training days so you can learn how to use the controls and
equipment correctly. In the studio there is a chair called the “ Hot Seat”. This is
where you sit if you are controlling the equipment and playing the music. The
person in the Hot Seat is generally in charge and tells everyone what to do and
reads out important informa on such as the weather, tra?c and travel.
Every so o en we hold events such as the Spring Fair, fund raisers and just
recently we had a parade to celebrate the grant of our FM licence. Listen into
the show to ?nd out details of coming up events.
If you would ever like to contact us or to ?nd out more informa on go to

Not only are we on radio but the web too! We have a “listen live” bu on on the
website so you can listen anywhere!

fun!
