Radio Four Roadshow
12 October 2009
BBC Radio 4 is here this week (October 15-16) broadcasting programmes from the University's Kedleston Road site - its first ever roadshow.
Derby is the first of only three UK universities, along with Cardiff and Bedfordshire, to host Radio 4 for its first roadshow.
It is part of Radio 4's bid to attract younger audiences.
Regular programmes including Just A Minute, The Moral Maze and Woman's Hour will broadcast from the University this week.
Staff and students can book to see these programmes (space permitting). Workshops are also being run at the University - for students only - by BBC Experts in journalism, social media and creative writing.
To see when everything's happening and book your places, go to www.derby.ac.uk/radio4.
Peter Gallimore, Head of Corporate Relations at the University of Derby, said: "This is a real coup, to be one of only three universities to host the first ever Radio 4 roadshow.
"The station will find a real welcome at Derby and it'll be a chance for staff and students to see how a world renowned broadcaster goes about its business."
