Q: What UK music station can you hear in Colombia, Nigeria, Vietnam, Macedonia and Oman?

A: The Selector

The Selector is a two-hour radio show featuring only the best in new UK music. It reflects the brilliance and diversity of British music, promoting to the world the new sounds, talents and musical culture of modern Britain. The aim is to challenge people’s perceptions about the UK and showcase the wealth of creativity and innovation on offer here. Put together as a collaborative project by British Council Arts, British Council offices overseas, the production company Somethin' Else and all local radio stations as listed on the Selector website, the idea was conceived in the UK by British Council music unit and then managed by Somethin' Else.

The show is currently broadcasting in 15 countries to an estimated audience of around 1.5 million listeners each week. The programme has won numerous awards including Radio Progamme of the Year in Hungary and the gold award for Best Weekly Music Programme at Sony Radio Academy Awards.
