A Few Notices
by Butcher, George 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hi everyone, A few notices: We have managed to source a replacement Alice part from a bloke off eBay. Hopefully it'll work just fine so we're back to normal with jingles. The Field recorder was found lying around in STOIC's studio. No one has come forwards to apologise. It's annoying because it's for all of you to use but someone's just treated it like their own. It's back in the top drawer, we've got rechargeable batteries so please recharge them if you've drained them. Thanks! Finally the studio computer is as buggy as ever. If it does have a panic attack then turn it off and on again. It's next to the rack outside the studio door (drop me an email if you do so we can restart sustain if necessary). Come the end of June we'll get our new server and computer set up, but it'll be very time consuming to do so we'll have to wait for the end of exams. Good luck with any exams and coursework, it's great to see so many people doing shows through the exams! George

Your media group needs you - AGM Monday 5pm
by Hayes, Aislinn 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi everyone! The media group AGM is happening on Monday 3rd of June 5pm in Felix back office (way hey). For those of you don't know, IC Radio STOIC Felix and Photosoc to name a few are managed by the Media Executive committee - they interact with the Union and regulate our money-spending. Anyone interested in Union politics, or if you think you can contribute to the way the media societies operate, definitely come along. 5 positions up for grabs, Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and new this year, Technical Officer and Development Officer. I've attached some info about each role, but here's my take below too: Chair - Presidente of all Media societies, lots of Union contact and financial control for all you power-trippin'-hungries out there. Treasurer - Approves society spending, and helps out at budgeting so that we can buy fun toys. As usual with any Treasurer position, looks particularly bangin' on the old CV. Secretary - Takes the minutes at termly meetings (and is free to embellish with aplomb). Technical Officer - In charge of our toys and reigning tech king/queen at events like Varsity, Elections, etc. Development Officer - Marketing, promotion of inter-society love, general all around Good Guy Greg. There will be a nominations paper in the station tomorrow that you can sign up to, get anyone passing to second you as well. Of course, we will accept nominations during the AGM if noone else stands, so come along! Feel free to email me with any questions, radio queries, or even if dem examies are getting you down. Radio love as always, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

field recorder
by Butcher, George 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi everyone, Alas, we still have not had the field recorder returned. The good people from AKA want to interview James Skelly at his gig soon and they won't be able to unless it's returned promptly. It may look old, but to replace it would cost us in the region of £100 which is money that should be spent on the station for everyone not replacing lost equipment. If you know where it is, or just want to own up for losing it, please email me or Aislinn now and return it as soon as possible. If it isn't returned soon we will have to report it as stolen which means lots of looking at CCTV and filling out of forms. Life is too short and if we can't trust people to borrow and return equipment that should be used outside the studio by members, it will have to be locked away which is a shame for everyone. Sorry this is such a depressing email. George PS, we don't appear to have given all the Tequila away. I know there were plans afoot for a IC Radio awards ceremony. TBC PPS, Anyone else see Ais' cryptic Facebook post? Anyone else fancy some BBC radio tours...?

DJ speakers and field recorder
by Hayes, Aislinn 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi again everyone! Apologies for the spam, but just wanted to let you know that we solved the broken slider mystery. The M-Audio speakers had been put up on the top of ALICE's wooden housing and consequently fell off, damaging the slider to beyond repair. However, we have found a replacement that we're going to install post exams. I know the live mixing DJs are keen to get better speakers in the studio, but for the moment we have removed the M-Audios (we can't afford for them to fall off again, because ALICE can't be damaged and also those are our rental speakers!!) as the radio stand doesn't seem to be able to support them. We are going to look into better alternatives. I also haven't forgotten about my tenuous promise to invest in KRK-Rokits. Hopefully I'll be able to get that done before I hand over the reins to George next year, but keep your fingers crossed. Also, if anyone has the portable field recorder, please let me know! Radio love as always, and best of luck revising, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

IC Radio - please read
by Hayes, Aislinn 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi all, It's come to the my attention that the playout 2 slider on ALICE (the one that you use with Rivendell for jingles) has been smashed in, and is now beyond repair. (See picture below) The company that made our beloved ALICE 15 odd years ago has gone bust, so we're frantically searching eBay now for replacement parts, and I think we've managed to find one that may work, so fingers crossed. I'm sure this was an accident folks, maybe someone dropped a speaker on it, just please let me know (or if you're embarrassed, you can leave an anonymous whiteboard note!) how it occurred so that we can try to use the details to claim for contingency money from the Union. [cid:b9bb01d8-7788-4818-b34f-6cf4f448f272] Hopefully we can get this fixed as soon as possible - although at this time of year I'm sure you all understand that with exams etc it might be a while. As always, best of luck with exams to everyone, a huge thank you to Joe and the technical team for getting the station back up and running after the giant server fail of 2k13, and remember to submit those playlists! Radio love, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13 Centrefold Extraordinaire

by Letts, Joseph 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi all, As you now know show recording is alive and well! However it seems that the lack of automatic emails has allowed you to forget to submit your playlists! As an incentive the front page will show a list of the ten most recent recorded shows with submitted playlists. These shows will also feature at the bottom of the new show streamer! So get out there and submit! N.B. Please note that shows recorded before the computers broke are still archived however they aren't accessible for download at this time.

Show Recording and Show TImes
by Letts, Joseph 15 May '13

15 May '13

Dear radio people, I bring good news! As of this morning show recordings are back in action (fingers crossed). Also, it seems that due to a time difference in our temporary servers people's shows have been scheduled for the wrong slots. This has now been fixed, however please check the schedules to see if it has happened to you. If so, please drop an email to either programming(a)icradio.com or technical(a)icradio.com if you can't cancel your show request and schedule a new broadcast. Best wishes, Joe Letts IC Radio Technical Manager
