Irish TV’s Midlands base comes to South and City College
BBC West Midlands radio favourite Bob Brolly revealed his latest venture last week, with the launch of his new role with Irish TV taking place at the ‘heart of learning’ in Digbeth – South and City College Birmingham.
The BBC radio favourite will now head up Irish TV”s Midlands offering – his first instalment was a jam-packed launch show from South and City College’s Digbeth Auditorium.
Bob, who is the Regional Manager for Irish TV’s Midlands Region commented “Irish TV’s Midlands base will open up a whole new audience for Irish TV, as well as ensuring the Irish in this region can become more connected with home by telling their own stories of what’s happening in the Irish scene in the UK and following what’s happening back home in Ireland. The fact that we are based within South and City College is perfect and we are planning to work with their media students using their incredible facilities to offer them a ‘real life’ experience of broadcasting as we prepare our programmes going forward – helping to create career opportunities for their young people”.
This sort of association with businesses and organisations from across all communities really helps change lives and many more ‘real life’ student experiences are planned through the College’s InBusiness Network – including of course with The Asian Today newspaper.
Students studying Media, Events and Social Media will be getting involved with the newspaper to help support their Birmingham Awards event taking place at the Edgbaston Stadium in November.
Working together to make a difference to the future workforce of our region !
