Cumbernauld College radio students reach global audience

Set up three years ago by music lecturer Darren Paramasivan, Radio Active Scotland went live on the internet last year.

Since then a steady stream of international listeners have been tuning in regularly from the likes of Brazil, Russia, Serbia, Greece, Latvia and even the Maldives and Taiwan.

Darren said: “As soon as we began broadcasting over the internet we acquired a diverse range of listeners from across the globe.

“Radio Active Scotland is broadcast through various radio forums, which is where we pick up a lot of our international listeners, and also our presenters from around the world. The students have worked extremely hard to make the station a success.”
