Induction Game Shows 2019!
Utter Radio would like to welcome all students to the University of Salford. We hope you have had wonderful summers and are ready for a fun-packed and successful semester.
We would especially like to give a huge welcome to all the first year (Level 4) students - we hope you are settling in and aren't too overwhelmed!
As part of the Level 4 Induction Week Utter Radio broadcast two game shows which aimed to establish which of the University of Salford's 100+ first year BA TV & Radio students is the best liar!
In the age of false news, post-truth and alternative facts the BATAR students battled to see which student was most like everybody’s favourite politician – Donald Trump!
Listen to the programmes here:
Presenters: Jamie-Louise Massey & Tom Levins. Studio Manager: PJ Hitchcock. BAs: Ellen Macleod & Rachel Fitzgerald
First Broadcast: 18/09/19 (each show approx 20 mins)
BAFTARS 2019
Yes! It's that time of year again! 12th of June: BAFTARS time - the University of Salford's decadent answer to the BAFTAS ... where we celebrate the work produced by students on the BA TV & Radio (or BATAR as it is known) this year.
The award ceremony, hosted by BBC radio legend Chelsea Norris and featuring a stellar cast of judges from the BBC and the commercial sector, will be broadcast LIVE right here on Utter Radio and include the added spice of Eurovision-style commentary from Megan Hayward, Tom Levins and Dan Richmond.
But that it not all ...
... from 10am-6pm Utter Radio the Utter Radio team will present a series of two-hour long programmes featuring interviews with nominees and samples of the nominated productions.

Tea Break
Have you ever wanted to know how many times lions mate in a day?
How about how many muscles your mouth uses when you speak?
Or even perhaps how many knives, forks and spoons there are in the White House?
Well then you need a Tea Break – the most absurd quiz show in the world! Each week, contestants come for their cuppa and are left to gently simmer, with a five round test that grills their abilities of recalling random facts, inventing ridiculous stories, and listening to the weirdest of songs. So sit back, relax, it’s time to put the kettle on!
‘Tea Break’ airs every Friday at 7pm on Utter Radio, and you can catch the episodes whenever you like from the Monday after broadcast on www.soundcloud.com/minorspillage.
