sustain matters... please read!
by IC Radio Head of Music (Kate) 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

hello radio people! With the help of our wonderful techmasters I've finally completely rescheduled sustain. So what now? Whenever there isn't a show going on, radio will be playing music that we put onto sustain: new releases, older good tracks, mainstream, non-mainstream and tracks from our recorded sessions! I need your help to keep getting good music on sustain, that's you music team people AND presenters. Music team will help me update it with the stuff we get sent in (so basically sorting out good stuff from crap, as done so far) and I'd like show presenters to copy a couple of tracks from their show whenever they're on (if you're not playing off rivendel). This is especially for all you *specialist guys* who don't play mainstream (we get quite a lot of mainstream sent in, so it's pretty much covered)!! (there's a file called 'to import' in the 'music' file) I think it's important for our radio to represent us so, gotta play music that ranges the mood and style of our shows. If you'd rather give me a mixed cd with music that represents your show, i can add a few tracks from there every other week or so. Whatever you find more convenient. Thank you!! Lotsa love, Kate PS: PRESENTERS, MAKE SURE YOU SUBMIT YOUR PLAYLIST AFTER EACH SHOW - there, hadn't bugged you about that in a while! -- Kate Agathos - Head of Music @ Imperial College Radio Beit Quad Prince Consort Rd South Kensington SW7 2BB Tel: 07794263552 www.icradio.com

Two Free Tickets to see Jason Manford at the Apollo on Wednesday night
by Dan Fowler 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi all, As the title say, 2 free tickets. The only requirement is that you interview a 'comedy' band beforehand. They're called 'dead cat bounce' and have a song out for Movember called 'Everytime you shave a moustache dies'. Check it out on YouTube, it's hilarious! First come first serve. We will provide recording equipment etc, just make sure you can do it and won't pull out ;) Cheers Dan

Membership/keylist, equipment and recordings...
by Dan Fowler 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hi all, Been a while since I gave a station update, so here we go. Hopefully everyone has bought membership by now. If not then please do! Today! I can only add people to the key list or the station if you have joined the society. I'll be doing another key list this week so make sure that you are a member if you want to be on it. One of the problems with student (any) radio is that stuff breaks. This is fine, but if you notice that something is wrong then please please please report it! We are aware that the dj mixer is unfortunately on it's last legs and we are looking to replace it asap. We are also going to sort out the headphone situation, hopefully once and for all! I'm sure you're all bored of me banging on about the live sessions that we do, but they are now all on the playout system (under 'sessions'). If you can possibly try and squeeze one or two into your show then please do, and let me know that you have done - the more airplay we can get for them the more bands we can get down here! If anyone has any compliments/complaints/suggestions with how radio is going so far this year then please let me know! Dan

How to add pictures to your Show section on icradio.com
by Wilkie, Oliver 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Adding images to your show page is encouraged! Unfortunately we do not provide image hosting at this time so you need to make use of an image hosting website. I recommend that you use imageshack.us<http://imageshack.us> to store all your images. Its really quick and painless. To add image and text to your show you need to use the show homepage editor module located in the navigation menu of your members area. Attached is a screenshot demonstrating what to do once you are on the show homepage editor module. [cid:A2B3ACDB-9B45-43F6-9490-D90ABAF87F31] Any questions please feel free to ask. Cheers, Oli Head of Tech @ ICRadio.com<http://ICRadio.com> technical(a)icradio.com<mailto:technical@icradio.com> PS. Good luck to ICRadio at tonight's SRA Awards!!

Sticky Knobs, SRA Awards and Studio Access
by Fowler, Daniel 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi all, Hope things are good. It's been a really eventful couple of weeks in radio, we finally officially got back on the air and even hosted the National Student Radio Chart Show last Sunday! Now that people are getting their shows up and running we need to go over a few housekeeping rules. No drinks in the Broadcast Studio! We all like a drink, we all like radio, we all like to put them together - however if one of them gets spilt on the desk there is no more radio. If ALICE dies we are dead, and that would be sad. Unfortunately a rogue pint of coke was spilt on the desk on Sunday, it appears that the electrics are fine, but we've had to spend a few hours switching channels over etc. Please please please don't do this again, I'm not the sort of person to bring in punishments, but if this happens again there will be some. Anyway, enough negativity. Hands have been slapped so lets move on. The SRA Awards are coming up on Thursday, in which we are nominated for the Best Chart Show. We have a group of 15 guys going along to represent us and hopefully we'll all have a great night. I have just submitted the updated keylist to security, meaning that if you have signed up for membership to the society (http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/radio-211/radio-membership/product.html) you will be able to get the Studio Key out of the security office (under the arch). One thing I just want to add here, please don't walk home with this key if you take it out! It just creates problems for me with angry calls from presenters wanting to get into the studio. Well that's it for now Thanks Dan

Hi, Apologies for adding to the mass messaging. Hope everyone is enjoying launch week on IC Radio. Thanks to everyone who applied for a place on these tours. If you have been selected you should get an email from James Palmer, at the SRA who is organising it. Check you spam etc. If you haven't then apologies and do not worry because I am working on getting some IC Radio only tours organised - similar to the Broadcasting House one we did a couple of years ago. (peace & love)^2 Roushan

Hi people! If you are new to icradio and you want to do your first show this week... PLEASE schedule it in as soon as possible! This way I can check the schedule and know to be at the studio at that time/make other arrangements. If I've already sat with you (i.e. last week) this doesn't apply. Apologies for the spam. Ramy

SRA awards
by Fowler, Daniel 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hi guys, Last chance to let me know if you want to come to the SRA awards, I will be booking tickets tonight. http://www.studentradioawards.co.uk/ Tickets are usually £25, but we will be subsidising this (probably in full). It's a great night and a good chance to see what everyone else is doing around the country in student radio. I'd love to be able to take a big old group of icradio-ers along! Anyway, let me know if you're interested. Thanks to everyone who has already got in contact. Dan
