Documentaries and Factual Programmes

Channel 27 is not just a music radio station. Our internal production house - Channel 27 Productions (formerly the Channel 27 Radio Workshop) develops and produces a number of specials each year.

Programmes range from science-based such as the Venus Transit programme in 2004 and Eclipse 99 through to music documentaries such as the recent Life and Times of the King of Pop: Michael Jackson.

The unit also produces news specials as and when it is appropriate to do so.
