Movie Night
by Butcher, George 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi everyone, The movie night is happening, official. Fill in this doodle if you want to go : http://www.doodle.com/ge7d9gm7e64u3kd6 and I'll try and chose a date/time the most people can make. Film suggestion so far is The Boat That Rocks. Stick any more ideas up as comments or just bring them along on the night. As for actually showing the film, haven't thought this far ahead :-\ Depending on how many of you want to come we can either squeeze everyone into my flat or set up a projector in the shared space in the studio, if someone has a projector that'd be great, or I'm told you can hire the union cinema? Don't know how this would work. If the whole point is a social event, sitting in silent in the darkness of a cinema might be a bit awks. If enough people are up for it then we might be able to persuade Ais to release some hard earned SGI for a few drinks, but we can make no promises sorry. Have a lovely Easter, don't work too hard!

21 Mar '13

Dear IC Radio, If you ever want to host a show that isn't during your usual time, and this includes extended shows, then first check who hosts a show during the times that you want; here's a link to the google docs schedule to do this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aotbdz5Ce7gzdEZNTXFUdnU5RFh3eU… After you have confirmed with the other hosts that that slot is available to use that day, then email me to get me to schedule a one off show for you. Cheers, Chris

Felix Listings
by Butcher, George 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hello everyone! This is a reminder that your show can feature in this week's Felix listings. For it to feature you MUST schedule your show - the usual way - before 7 o'clock Tuesday, or it will miss the print deadline. You should also add a tagline to tell people what your show is about. Something like "Hard core indie punk metal with special guest performance from Adele". You can do this in the 'Show Home Editor' website module on the website. You can write a generic one, or update it weekly for each show, but don't forget to update it in time! Thanks to Max and Joe for setting this up, and to Tim for giving up valuable Felix space for us. Radio Love George PS: Don't forget we are broadcasting live from Varsity this Wednesday, listen in and spread the word!

Promote your show in Felix, FREE! #reallyexcitingnews
by Max Hunter 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi all, We've managed to get a weekly "IC Radio Show Listings" column in Felix, which is the perfect opportunity to make your listening figures skyrocket! Your show name, time, and an up-to-150-character tagline (like "Eardrum-bursting mix of electro-funk and Serbian death-jazz hosted by Jane Doe and Joe Bloggs") will be printed to an audience of 10,000 people every week! All you need to do is login to the members' area, press "Show Homepage Editor" and edit the "Show Tagline" (thanks Joe our Technical Manager for implementing this)! The weekly listings will be sent off to Felix on Tuesday evening, for publication that Friday (the listing will be Friday-Thursday). So you have to schedule your show by the normal means ("Show Request") by the Tuesday evening before the Friday before your show (if that makes sense…!) The format (in Felix) will be something like: Thursday 28 February 10:00 – 11:00 Morning Musings Some funky tagline here! 16:00 – 17:00 The Communist Propaganda Show Some funky tagline here! 17:00 – 18:00 The Jumble Sale Some funky tagline here! 23:00 – 00:00 Skank On Air Some funky tagline here! In summary: - Please update your tagline (members' area, Show Homepage Editor) and sell your show in 150 characters! - Make sure you schedule your show by the Tuesday before the Friday before your show. If you broadcast a Thursday show you will need to schedule the slot a week and a half in advance, or it will not be in Felix! Also, please please please run for a committee position as Aislinn said! It'll be SO MUCH FUN, and there's SO much exciting stuff planned for next year. A few positions still have nobody running - like Disco Hire Manager (you'll make most of our income by renting out and being in charge of lots of big speakers and lights) and Music Manager, which gets you loads of exclusive invitations to gigs and puts you in charge of our amazing extensive music collection - and Head of Promotions, where you spearhead our popularity and campaigns and raise our listening figures - and Treasurer, where you're in charge of all expenditure, and Secretary, and Social Secretary, and Head of Programming and Head of Production! Sign your name up on the sheet behind the main door to IC Radio and, in any case, come to the AGM on Tuesday... :)

by Hayes, Aislinn 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi all! Some really fun stuff on my email update this week: Important interview/press release opportunity Calling all interviewers and presenters! On Tuesday afternoon, 5th of March, IC Radio has been invited to a press event and need two people to attend and partake in media interviews. I'm not going to disclose all the details in case we all overexcite ourselves, but it is a pretty big deal. If you're free from about 2pm on Tuesday and you feel like your interviewing skills are up for a challenge, email me for details on how to apply! AGM and FREEEEEEEEE Beer & Biscuits! It's that time of year again! Beer & Biscuits round two is in the Physics Common Room (Blackett Level 8) is on from 7pm on Tuesday evening. The roles up for grabs are Station Manager, Treasurer, Secretary, Head of Music, Technical Manager, Head of Programming, Head of Production, Disco Manager, Head of Promotions, Social Secretary, and Assistant Station Manager. Come along, eat and drink yourself silly, and maybe walk away with an exciting role in radio for next year! :) Varsity coverage IC Radio is going to be doing live coverage of the Varsity rugby match from the Stoop on 13th of March. We'd love to have some radio commentators or crowd interviewers or general craic addicts for the match! We need to have a list of people attending confirmed by Wednesday 6th of March. Sign up here if you want to come along, and feel free to recommend others you know who may be interested! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuJ4MpronP4edE9ES05VSWttVzJVbk… Tours of 6 Music, Xfm, and BBC Radio 2 The committee has managed to make contact with the above radio stations to organise free tours of their studios. Xfm can take up to 10 people, and the others can take about 5 each, but we can try to organise some more staggered tours if the demand is high. Please sign up here if you'd like to come along to any of these stations and see how the professionals do it ;) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuJ4MpronP4edHVGQmxhQ2pLbEdsRT… Elections coverage If any shows are planning to interview candidates for the Union elections etc. next week, please get in contact with me before you do. There are a few rules to do with promotions for the elections that we have to adhere to, in the interest of fairness to all the candidates. Also, we are currently looking into the possibility of streaming the STOIC election hustings on Thursday, but we have yet to get confirmation of that. If you want to help out at all, let us know! Lots of love from your friendly neighbourhood station manager, Aislinn x Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13
