The Weekend-Warmup show on U Radio 99.6/102.1 FM
‘The ECHO BOOM show’
I’m Julia and apart from being a lab assistant at Mediazone, an outdoor reporter for The Social Media Show at Sigma, and a student at the University of Nicosia in my final year, I am also one of the hosts for the Weekend Warm-up show which is on U Radio every Friday from 6pm-8pm.
It all began when my first co-host Victor and I had an idea for a radio show and soon after were given a chance to create our own show for U Radio. We began by creating a demo in the Radio Lab at Mediazone where we got the first idea of what it is like to interact with each other live, as if we were live On Air.

The lecturer said “When I have “on air” Radio Broadcast, I have my iPad switched on and logged in Twitter and Facebook.” We asked him why we need to check the updates on Facebook and Twitter. The answer we got, shocked us!

Tedx University of Nicosia & Mediazone Production Values!
Ted Talks have gained world wide recognition, but the production standards are still relatively general. There is not a lot of pressure placed on the Curator of each city to produce an all out impressive recording. The requested standards are pretty basic in order to give opportunities for a variety of approaches. Mediazone currently has three Tedx productions under their belt. Mediazone handles all aspects of production, producing, directing the live show and editing it into a final piece of video.
