Schools competition: Be the boss of kmfm for a day

Primary school children could win the chance to become boss of kmfm for a day through a creative writing contest.

The topic for the competition is the Power of Persuasion. It asks primary school children in Kent, Medway and Bexley to write a persuasive letter to their best friend encouraging them to walk to school and explaining why it is important to walk rather than drive.

Whoever writes the best entry will take charge of kmfm for a day and get to work with the presenters and staff running the popular radio station.

The new boss will also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the station and be involved in programme creation, management meetings and possibly even creating their own broadcast clip to play on air!

DJ Andy Walker said: “Being the boss of kmfm means you get to be involved in a live radio station environment. Watch as we broadcast live, talk to listeners, discuss which music should be added to the playlist and maybe even be invited to a meeting as we discuss the next exciting kmfm competition.”

Simon Dolby from the KM Charity Team added: “Encouraging the next generation to think about greener ways to travel to school is important if we are to reduce traffic congestion and pollution levels in the region.

"Walking to school is an excellent way to take exercise and start the journey to improving fitness and health. We are so pleased kmfm are supporting this campaign and have offered such a fantastic prize.”
