The airwaves in Blacktown have been buzzing since April as radio show Keepin’ It Real gains popularity around the world.
The show is presented live from the studios of SWR-FM in Blacktown each Monday night from 9pm, by rising radio icons Frank Gutierrez and Dinesh Poorun, also known as Dinny & Franky G.
Dinesh said the show broadcasts around the world online but is uploaded on Mixcloud and is climbing up the popularity charts.
“The themed Top 5 has been very popular and we also do a year in focus where we flashback to the events from the past. Chartbeat looks at the world music charts and the hottest song on the planet.”
Both presenters are also Lecturers from UWS College in Quakers Hill and enjoy broadcasting to the region where they work.
“Many of our students live in the catchment area of SWR-FM and so there is a great sense of community in Blacktown, and we are happy to be a part of it,” said Dinesh.
The success on Mixcloud has been a pleasant surprise for UWSCollege and SWR-FM for College radio demographic with 6 Top 15 positions on the Global Charts.
“There are thousands of shows uploaded each week so we are really humbled by the attention we have received,” he said.
Keepin’ It Real can be heard on SWR-FM Mondays 9-10pm 99.9.
