While most people were at the beach soaking up the sun this summer, we've been helping some new broadcasters put their programmes to air
Ummah Town
Learn. Laugh. Live. Listen to the hottest Islamic beats. Get to know your fellow Muslims. Express yourself creatively. Or just have a few laughs!Hesham and AJ are a Kiwi brother & sister duo who are determined to create a fresh community approach to radio amongst the younger Muslim generation. They grew up overseas and so coming from mixed parentage they have a deep appreciation of diverse communities. Ummah Town takes a community approach to informative entertainment, while providing a space for the local community to express themselves creatively on air. This could be through music, comedy or any other audio talent. The programme also hopes to project a light-hearted and informative view of Islam, as opposed to the negative view too often seen in mainstream media.
On-air every second Sunday @ 6.30pm in English and Arabic. Also available as a podcast

At Plains FM, we like to think we're leading the world of communication. We're On-Air, Online, on Twitter and Facebook, we have email, and we have phones (just to scrape the top of the barrel). But someone who we think is more connected than us is Mornings host Ed Swift. When he's not presenting his show, he's connected in more ways than anyone can imagine! We're all just wondering if he's going to add another gadget to the list and get the new iPad!
