This programme was in collaboration with Oli 96.8FM, the only official Tamil Language radio station in Singapore.

In phase 2, participants shadowed the deejays in 3 to 4 different time belts and learned how a deejay’s typical work day at the radio station is like. In the final phase, participants co-hosted with the deejays.
The exposure gained through the media experience programme enabled students to converse in Tamil with greater confidence. It also created an awareness among the participants with regard to the use of Tamil in the media and to media related careers.
