Rory Weller answers those crucial queries
I Name Sweet FM.
I Occupation Twenty-four hour radio station.
I Place of Birth Born of a feverish desire to hear tracks on the radio that they heard in the clubs and had in their record collections.
I Appearance Young and very hip. I Hey, another wacky student radio station? Less of the wacky, these people are serious about what they do: they’re applying for pemianent status when the Scottish metropolitan licences go up for grabs in '96.
I And student? Sweet FM did originate out of student radio two years ago. but the organisers have moved on since then. With two successful Restricted Service Licences under their wavebands they‘ve learned and grown. it’s youth entertainment without the ‘f I So will people listen to this? They say ‘30 per cent of 18—26- year-olds don't listen to the radio at all because there‘s nothing to listen to'. They have confirmed sets from Massive Attack and Orbital and both local and intemational DJs are requesting specific sets already.
I So it’s mainly music then? it's about 60:40 in favour of music with the rest being chat. interviews and comedy.
I Save us, not more unfunny dullards who’ve watched too much Monty Python? No. they’ve conceded that comedy on a music- based station can be a bit contrived so it‘s more a case ofthe Bruce Mortons and Phil Kays coming in for a chat and playing their records. Comedy vignettes will be slipped in unobtrusively between records. as will more serious stuff like Martin Amis and lrvine Welsh interviews. I Very impressive, but have they a chance or getting a permanent licence? Not really: the way things are going elsewhere in the country it‘s more likely to go to some safe big bucks. AOR station with Smashey and Nicey programming. I What to say? Here‘s a five hour set from Andy Weatherall.
I What not to say Actually I do a lot of work for charidee.
Sweet FM starts broadcasting 26 April on 105.4FM.
