The state of the studio this morning
by Fowler, Daniel 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi guys, On Wednesday and Thursday we tidied up the broadcast studio a fair bit. Got rid of all the rubbish and tidied everything up. I even had a show last night between 6-7 and I know that the place was looking fine when I left it. So why, when I walk in this morning, does it look like a bomb has hit it again? It's only been about 12 hours! If you're going to eat and drink in the studio (which you shouldn't) please please please tidy up after yourself. There was a half full bottle of Corona just left on the desk (by the way, who does that?!). If that, or any drink, got spilled into the broadcast desk IC RADIO would be off air indefinitely. Also, most worryingly, the back door was left open all night. That back door goes right onto the road... The desk was, once again left on air. If there is no other show after you OFFER THE SUSTAIN BACK OVER TO THE SERVER. If you don't know how to do this ask someone, it is just the reverse process of putting the desk on air. I've lost count of how many pairs of headphones I've found broken in the last two weeks. Look after our stuff. It is really not hard to work out who is responsible, there is a scheduled timetable after all, but we don't want to have to do this. The committee are really busting their arses to try and sort this radio station out, please don't make this all for nothing. Dan Fowler Station Manager IC RADIO

Show playlists!
by IC Radio Technical Manager - Chris Birkett 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi all, Just a quick reminder that all shows MUST submit playlists using the Show Playlists module in the members area (not in the Show Editor). If you're having problems with this, please let me know. I'm tightening the system up now so if you don't submit a playlist, prepare to have the systems shout at you (I'd probably worry more about Lia and her posters of fat cats though... :S). If you don't play any music, just submit a playlist with a single track 'N/A' by 'N/A' for that show. Any problems/questions let me know :) Chris

Posters, Promotions and Scheduling.
by Allinson, Matthew 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hello all. This email is so long I made an abstract for it: Help me put up posters Make posters for your own show Put up posters for your own show/ send them back to me Schedule yourself. I've been sticking a few posters up around on the sherfield walkway and in SAF and the JCR, thanks for all of you who have volunteered to help me, I'm usually down in radio on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. If you don't know who I am, I'm the guy who wears the "harry potter" glasses and presents the shipping forecast on Thursdays at 5; so if you ever feel like helping the radio promotions team just pop by and I'll give you something to scatter around campus. More importantly, something else you can all do is make posters for your own show. I've included the standard template it's A3 sized and has space for you to put a picture and some text to tell the world about your show. Feel free to mess around with the format, provided that you have the logo and web address fairly prominently and don't break union rules (see attached). I can't stress enough the importance of self promotion. If you have no time at all, make yourself a poster and email it to me, as I have quite a lot of free time and will endeavour to stick your poster up for you. However if you want a job done, it is best to do it yourself. Be mindful of the rules (again, see attached) but they were made to be broken. Once again a quick request for any first years and medics and anyone else who can get posters up in places I can't get to, namely halls of residence and St.Mary's/Reynolds; please please please give me a hand, you will have love and kindness and southern fried chicken from me for life. Finally a quick reminder to everyone who hasn't scheduled their show yet, and this is of special importance to White noise and News at 10 who are usually today, your shows aren't scheduled for this week and will not be recorded. Also I don't know whether or not to put them on the Radio times, which is exceedingly belated but going out this lunchtime (again, help wanted) Much love Matt Allinson 07515789751 Publicity(a)icradio.com Promotions & Publicity ICRadio<http://www.icradio.com/> Beit Quad London SW7 2BB

URGENT - show scheduling
by IC Radio Technical Manager - Chris Birkett 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi all, Following on from Matt's email - the schedule for this week is looking pretty empty! http://www.icradio.com/schedule.php So just to remind you that we have switched over to a new slot-based scheduling system that puts you in charge of scheduling your own shows - we're not copying weeks of schedule over from one week to the next anymore, as that often includes unwanted shows and fills up our disks with recordings of sustain. You'll need to schedule your own shows in advance (preferably as early as possible so they spend as much time as possible on the schedule) or they won't be recorded and the website won't let anyone know you're on air. To schedule radio shows for the current week and next week, use the 'Show Request' module in the members area. If you don't see anything useful when you visit this, send an email to technical(a)icradio.com with your show name and usual show slot and I'll set you up with scheduling privileges. If you ever need to schedule one-off shows or shows with different timings (that do not match your slot) you can email Andy (programming(a)icradio.com) or me and we'll insert your show for you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reply or ask any of the committee at the station. Cheers, Chris

Radio Times
by Allinson, Matthew 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hello All, I want to get the radio times out by lunchtime tomorrow (Monday 25th) but there is very little on the schedule. Can everyone make sure their show is scheduled in the members area (if you don't know what that means, email either andy (agr06) or chris (cjb07)) by midday tomorrow. Also, if anyone wants to help me spread the radio times around and stick up posters, especially first years/re-apps in halls, then please email me back at ma1307(a)ic.ac.uk. I would love you forever, and the committee can guarantee that my love occasionally manifests itself in free fried chicken. Thank you all, and if you're fully scheduled for the next fortnight sorry for the spam. Much Love Matt Promotions.

IC RADIO
by Fowler, Daniel 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hi, Hope that you've all finished with your January exams and they went OK. The 2nd term is historically the biggest one for radio in terms of shows and events. We're going to get the ball rolling next week by restarting the "Flagship Show" on Wednesday. The Flagship Show is something that we started last year. Basically it's a radio show that is put on by the radio committee (and anyone else that wants to get involved) which we try and do a bit more professionally than the usual student radio show. We have live sessions, 30 minute show takeovers, the news, loads of things. It's a great way to get a bit more into IC RADIO and meet some new people. If you are interested in being involved (as I said this can be anyone at all) then let me know. Key List The bane of mine, and every other Station Manager in IC RADIO's history, 's life. I got a list to the Union last term, but they were slow and some of you were slow at getting your names to me - therefore some people aren't on it. I'll put together some more names for next week, so IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE KEY LIST, SEND ME YOUR NAME IN AN EMAIL BY TOMORROW (Friday) 14.00. I will do by best :) New Website The annoying tapping sound at the back of our mind. It will be finished and online within two weeks. I promise. Facebook Get everyone to join up - http://www.facebook.com/icradio?ref=search&sid=222406121.823188389..1 That's all for now Cheers Dan Fowler Station Manager IC RADIO
