Last November, Eastbourne Youth Radio (EYR) celebrated 25 years on air and broadcast 75+ hours of live radio on 87.7FM over four days – giving students from Eastbourne and nearby towns aged 5–19 the chance to step behind the mic and be heard.
Students took part in live broadcasts, interviews, and performances – building confidence, communication skills, and real-world experience.
“A brilliant experience being live on air – knowing friends and family were listening!”
