Challenge.

Delivering Real-World Skills Within Tight School Budgets

Founded by educator and broadcaster Russell Prue, Anderton Tiger was built around a simple idea: give students real responsibility in a live environment.

Live radio teaches:

  • Resilience under pressure
  • Collaboration and teamwork
  • Communication confidence
  • Accountability to real deadlines

However, schools face two major constraints:

  • Tight budgets
  • Limited technical expertise

Any solution needed to be affordable, simple to manage, and robust enough to support live broadcasting without adding complexity for teachers.

Solution.

An End-to-End School Radio Package

Anderton Tiger combines its own purpose-built radio hardware with Radio.co’s cloud streaming platform to deliver a complete broadcasting solution for schools.

Radio.co provides:

  • A simple, intuitive streaming interface suitable for students
  • Affordable 24/7 broadcasting plans
  • Reliable cloud delivery
  • The ability to scale from internal school broadcasts to public community streams

This allows schools to launch professional-grade radio stations without specialist broadcast knowledge.

Teachers and students can focus on content and learning outcomes — not technical setup.

Results.

Increased Confidence, Collaboration & Engagement

The partnership has enabled schools to integrate live radio into their curriculum as a practical learning tool.

Key outcomes include:

  • Greater student confidence in communication
  • Improved teamwork and collaboration
  • A structured way to teach resilience and responsibility
  • Stronger connections between school, parents, and local community

Live broadcasting introduces managed risk in a safe environment — where mistakes become learning opportunities rather than failures.

For schools, it provides a measurable, engaging way to deliver core educational objectives.

For me as an educator, radio hits all the educational outcomes more easily than TV.
