Welcome, Radio EKA or REKA!

The REKA online radio was established by third-year graphic design students under the supervision of Ott Kagovere. The objective was to come up with a concept for an art academy’s radio; based on this, a visual identity and the first broadcasts and programme series were developed.

It’s a student radio station, i.e., a platform operated and managed by students themselves. Soon, an open call will be announced for spring programmes and mixtapes, and all EAA students are welcome to submit their proposals.

Stay tuned to reka.artun.ee !
