Youth Jam Radio founded with the aim of providing young people with a voice will turn off its 24/7 radio station from February 14, just shy of its 8th birthday. But it will continue via its podcast and digital media offerings.

The Luke Sharp Show, The Bella Mclean Show, The Isaac Mulcrone Show and Newsflash, as podcasts, will be released weekdays at 8am, 2.35pm and 6pm and Hannah-Jade Keppler and Declan Scott will upload a podcast at 8am on Saturdays & Sundays. There are also some new broadcasters being trained to join the podcast line-up.

CEO, Isaac Mulcrone said:

“We will be allowing Youth Jam to continue on its evolutionary path and will keep Youth Jam as Perth’s only dedicated youth media network.

Future-proofing the network means unburdening ourselves of costs that we can’t afford and doing things that will grow our audience. Our social media pages are growing exponentially at the moment, as is our podcast network.

‘Made by youth, for youth’ isn’t just a saying, it’s our reality.”

The network’s array of podcasts launch on Saturday February 15 at 8am.
