WITT on a Thursday: Past Episodes

Seven talented high school students who are studying radio broadcasting at WITT showcase what they have learned and what WITT has to offer.

Airing time: Your choice, on demand



In 2021, WITT started running a Broadcasting course for Taranaki students, tutored by Bryan Vickery.  With no radio studios on campus, there is limited opportunity for students to learn some of the practical aspects of the course or to broadcast their programmes.

Access Radio Taranaki 104.4FM (ART) is a Taranaki’s Access Community radio station, where community groups and individuals can come to the station and receive the support, training and resources that they need in order to have their voice(s) heard. 

The opportunity for collaboration between WITT and ART is perfect.
