February is the month of the Oscars, and with them just a few weeks away, all the movie maniacs are buzzing with ideas about who the grand winners will be this year. Tune in tonight on Happy Hour FM at exactly 18:00 to hear our show, where Bobby, Yorick and Elina will be sharing their theories, as well as playing you some favourite soundtracks and songs from movies. You will also learn a bit more about a special Oscar event taking place in the city on the 26th of February at RKZ Bios and naturally, hear the awesome weekly sketch by Stranger Things Have Happened who also performed last week at the introduction week.

Speaking of introductionw week: Last week was also the first week for many new international students that came to town! Happy Hour FM met about 200 of them at the welcoming day at Hanze and tonight you can hear a report from the info market made by Pia!

Tune in at 6PM via radio at 106.6FM if you're in the city or if you're anywhere else in the world via our Livestream!

And the Oscar goes to...

Happy Hour FM would like to welcome all new international students to the wonderful city of Groningen!

During your stay in the city we'll be here for you every Monday from 6PM to 7PM, keeping you updated about everything you need to know! You can hear our show at that time via internet by clicking on our Livestream! If you have one of those handy radio-thingies, you can also tune in to 106.6FM on the air waves, or 105.5FM via cable!

When we're not on air, you can always find us at our Facebook page, or keep updated about our shows via Twitter!

In the Happy Hour FM radio shows you can always expect us to update you about the latest news and inform you about the upcoming events. We'll have great and interesting guests, awesome (live) music, comedy sketches done live every week by Stranger Things Have Happened and the occasional prize give-aways!

If you have anything you'd like to contribute to the show, like the above mentioned, don't hesitate to email us at contact@happyhourfm.com. Any questions can also be emailed there. If you're looking out to join an international team of students in making a radio show, feel free to join us!

It's been two weeks of vacation, but tonight we're back for the start of another year of Happy Hour FM! Our main topic will be Eurosonic/Noorderslag, one of Europe's biggest pop events, that will take place in Groningen at the end of this week! Of course there will be updates about the latest news, the upcoming events and we'll have a live comedy sketch from Stranger Things Have Happened!

If we (manage to) forget about the wind, Groningen seems to be a paradise for students. This is not only because of the 1€ beer and cheap food. Groningen offers great educational system and cultural activities. Taking care of the students is one of the main concerns for the city and University of Groningen, and this is already since a while!
