While some of the traditional favourites will be returning, such as the Drivetime slot at 5pm, this year will feature some new content including Campus Insider – a guest-driven show that will discuss academic affairs, both locally and nationally.
There’ll also be special interest shows from clubs and societies and much more.
Speaking with The Echo, Saoirse Schad, ITTFM chairperson, said: “This year ITTFM is moving to the internet, streaming from Twitch.com, bringing a variety of content to the airwaves from music to chat shows to light entertainment, all produced and run by the students of IT Tallaght.
“Featuring giveaways and competitions all throughout the week, the station’s aim is to entertain and inform not only the students and locals of Tallaght, but to extend our reach to a potentially global audience through our new digital platform.”
