Join Tomarch and Simon for a very special season of Youth Gone Wild. For 10 weeks they'll be putting the spotlight on 10 different styles of hard rock. From Glam to Grunge and everything in between, they will not only play the best clips every week, but also give you an insight into their favourite albums and songs of each genre.
 
So tune into Channel 31 (Digital 44) every Friday night at 10:30pm for 30 minutes of rock... and silly costumes!

The story of SYN (so far!) has been captured in brand new book Life of SYN written by Associate Professor Ellie Rennie.
 
In her book, Ellie tracks the progress of SYN from a traditional radio broadcaster to a fully-fledged media organisation, showing how young people are at the forefront of digital technology, innovation and creativity.
 

We're very excited to announce that SYN has won a Voxie Award for Excellence in Training at the 2011 CBAA Conference!
 
The award recognised the Youth Make the Media resources launched earlier this year. The training resources were made by SYN members for any young people to use, wherever they are, and cover a whole lot of topics across radio, TV and digital media. Check them all out at syn.org.au/training.

We are very excited to announce SYN's brand new Leadership Team for 2012!
 
These 34 outstanding SYNners will take charge of our departments and flagship programs from January 1.
 
Expect big things!

Hi gang,

Australia’s newest faux-reign correspondent here. I’ve been over in London for about three months, and up until now it’s been a pretty standard ex-pat experience- mooch off friends and relatives, then find work, find my own place, etc.

That all changed late last week. The police shot a man in Tottenham last Thursday, which sparked some pretty severe unrest in that area over the next few nights. But things got well and truly real on Monday, when the rioting spread to other areas of the city.
 

SYN TV Season Two, 2011.
Monday 13th June to Friday 2nd September.
 

SYN TV is gearing up for another season of awesome shows. 1700 and Youth Gone Wild are on the box again - tune to Channel 31 Melbourne and Geelong.
