Stop! It’s Bri-Time!

Holmesglen Chadstone Campus is home to the rising stars that are Group A from the prestigious Broadcasting course. Every wednesday between 9am and 1pm, the students from Group A take over the studio and bring to the rest of Chadstone “Bri-Time”.

Tuning into the station which does not yet have a frequency but uses the speakers through-out the cafeteria means that these talented students do not have the public exposure desired. Despite this, Bri-Time continues to be a great mix of good [and sometimes inappropriate] humour, classic tunes and interesting talk topics.
There isn’t a consistent host or format as each student has their own chance to present and each brings their own style to Bri-Time. There is however one underlying factor that flows through-out all of it. That factor is Brian Wise.
No matter who is presenting, they all refer to their beloved teacher each and every break. Every sweeper, radio ID and station ‘sponser’ centres around Brian. The very name of the show is a tribute to Mr Wise, who only teaches the one class aka Group A and presents “Off the Record” for community radio station Triple R.

Bri-Time features numerous segments during the show including ‘Richters Report’, ‘Quiz Master’, ‘All 80′s’ and ‘Stop! Bri-Time!’. Richters Report, presented by Jack Richter, is a brief sports update with all the very latest in sports news and game scores. Jack also hosts the Quiz Master, bringing with him new contestants every week to test their general knowledge on Bri-Time.
All 80′s  is an hour overloaded with the best (and worst) of eightie’s music. This particular segment has very little talking, which may be a relief from the excess talking during Stop! Bri-Time! The content of Stop! Bri-Time! is amusing to listening, although the numerous presenters reflect their inexperience with continual talking over one another. The show may be confusing for those who aren’t familiar with Group A’s sense of humour, with comments such as ‘That’s what she said’ and ‘WHY?’ continually appearing during conversation.

Overall, “Bri-Time” has alot of potential and Melbourne should keep its eye out for the group thats going to change radio, and probably Brian Wise, forever!
