RADIO 3


Radio 3 at Edinburgh 2002

This year 大象传媒 Radio 3 gives listeners a greater taste of the Edinburgh experience than ever before, both on-air and online.

The line-up includes an exciting week of free live music and topical speech shows from the Fringe at Edinburgh's Dance Base; coverage of more than 50 musical events from the Edinburgh International Festival; broadcasts of the new late night concerts from Usher Hall and a new initiative that gives festival goers and listeners alike the chance to air their views on the shows and concerts on offer from this year's festival.

Nominations for the best moment of the Edinburgh Festival can come in by e-mail, postcards (at our 40+ polling booths), or audience line and all those who supply their suggestions will go into a prize draw with the chance to win a digital radio.
