Fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in radio, or perhaps your teenager considering a start in the media? As seen in Hamilton Press.

Juan’s ‘chopper’ is set to take flight, and you could be joining him thanks to a one-off Trade Me auction.

As the host of Community Radio Hamilton’s Rock del Sur music show (9pm, Fridays), Juan is getting behind fundraising for the Station’s 89FM project. Each week Juan takes to the controls of his helicopter to take listeners on a musical journey through the best of South American rock music. The auction winner will be invited to take a ride in Juan’s ‘chopper’, joining him in the studio for his show. They’ll also win a gift basket of South American treats including the highly-prized yerba mate drink – of which Juan is an importer.

Goods include:

“I’m passionate about rock music, and Community Radio Hamilton has allowed me to share this and connect people with the local Latin community. To me rock music is much more than a genre of popular music; is a state of mind and a lifestyle,” explains Juan.

Community Radio Hamilton is aiming to raise $100,000 to help with its launch on the full-power 89FM frequency,
Waikato-wide on 1 August 2012.
