Record Cleanup, Committee Meeting and Committee Position
by Sucher, Joshua 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hey! A couple of things from around radio to tell you about. Record Clear Up - 29/11/2015 The record clear up is this Sunday, the 29th. Please do come along and help with the sorting of the records as it will be beneficial to all of radio! We'll be doing this from 9 til as long as it takes, and there will be FREE PIZZA at lunch for anyone who helps out (and possibly for dinner but hopefully it won't take that long). Hope to see you all there! Committee Meeting - 02/12/2015 The committee will be having a meeting next Wednesday the 2nd December at 12 in the Media Hub (where Felix is based). If you want to get more involved with IC Radio or have ideas for what we could do better then come join us. Deputy Station Manager Election Unfortunately our previous Deputy Station Manager Neil has decided to step down (and we wish him well in his future endeavors). This means that we are in need of a new deputy station manager. The role of deputy station manager involves supporting the station manager of IC Radio in the various jobs that the running of the society presents. If you are interested in running for this role or would like more information please could you email me on this email (js4913(a)ic.ac.uk) with your manifesto for the role by 5PM Tuesday the 1st of December. On Wednesday next week the candidates will be announced and there will be an email vote for the new deputy station manager the following week. Hope to see you all on Sunday! Long live the Croc, Josh Sucher IC Radio Secretary 2015/16

Minutes from Committee Meeting and a Couple of Messages
by Sucher, Joshua 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Hey! Just a couple of things to say to you all to keep you all updated. A few weeks ago there was a committee meeting, for which the minutes have been written. I've attached them for your reading pleasure, so that you can see how radio is run, what's happening with radio, and what will change. If there's anything you'd like for us to discuss in the next committee meetings then please do tell one of us! If you have been sending us any emails, then please note that many of the committee members do not currently have access to their emails. For now, please try and contact us through different means, such as the members lounge (www.facebook.com/groups/ICRadioMembers/<https://www.facebook.com/groups/ICRadioMembers/>). Just request to join this page and one of us will let you in! If you do not have Facebook, then email me here and I'll try and direct you to the correct committee member. There's a couple of notes from the music team here - please read these as there's some important information!! Music Team Tired of hearing the same old songs on sustain? Think you've got a better taste in music? Join the Music Team! Come down to the radio on Mondays 7-8 and take part in the Music Monday show with Thanos and Sebastian. If they trust you enough, they'll make you part of the Music Team and show you how to change what plays on sustain. Playlists It has come to our attention that some people aren't providing playlists. Please do this! If you don't play any music just put N/A in the artist and track section when submitting playlists in the member's area. The Great 7 inch Cleanup (27th November) As I'm sure you have all noticed, the radio is awash with 45s just looking for a good home. To address this, on Sunday the 27th of November we'll be sorting them by catalogue number and putting them back on their shelves. We'll be doing this from 9 til as long as it takes, and there will be FREE PIZZA at lunch for anyone who helps out (and possibly for dinner but hopefully it won't take that long). See you there hopefully! Finally, a reminder to promote your shows on Twitter, Facebook etc. This will help increase listenership, which helps us all! Radio love, Josh Sucher IC Radio Secretary 2015/16 Long live the Croc

Jingle Workshop, Felix Column & Show Banners!
by Gellatly, Adam 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Hey everyone, Half way though the term now and with the schedule filling up, there are some great new and returning shows filling the airwaves. BUT, it has come to our attention that there is a lack of show specific jingles. Therefore, a JINGLE WORKSHOP has been scheduled for this WEDNESDAY 11TH NOVEMBER in the WEST BASEMENT EDIT SUITE, hosted by the wonderful Cem Hurrell. You'll have the chance to make your own jingle during the session, and learn how to make more for the future. Spaces for this event are very limited; there will be two hour long sessions, one at 1300 and one at 1400, with room for just 3 people per session. To book your place, drop me an email (adam.gellatly14(a)ic.ac.uk) with your name, show name, and preferred slot. Speaking of great shows, IC Radio now has its very own FELIX COLUMN to help promote top-notch productions across campus. So, if you have a show that doesn't get the listenership is deserves get in touch! I'll have a listen to all the shows that contact me me each week, pick the best, and write a column about why students need listen to you. The column is still in its infancy, so if you have any ideas for future themes, just let me know. Finally: SHOW BANNERS. In case you're not aware you can upload a banner for your show to the members area, under the homepage editor, via a link to an external site, such as imugr, imageshack etc. Just make sure the dimensions are 900x300. Additionally, if you'd like your banner on the icradio.com homepage, I'll happily add it for you. Long Live the Croc! Adam Head of Promotions & Social Sec. P.S. Another social is coming soon! The date is yet to be confirmed, but free pizza and drinks tokens are promised, so keep an eye out for a Facebook event.

Please help us get better card access to media rooms by reading this
by Stoker, Neil 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Dear all When the West Basement was refurbished, we were assured that people would get access to the rooms they needed through their IC college cards. This has NOT happened, and instead each media society has a single key card they log out of the porter's lodge. While that works for the Radio Studio, it means no-one has access e.g. to the media hub to download music on Rivendell while the studio is in use, which is deeply frustrating. If you have experienced any problems at all in the past, we have been asked by Henry, Head of Media, to send him emails (media.chair(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:media.chair@imperial.ac.uk>) asking for better access by this Tuesday 20th Oct, as he has a meeting about it, and is repeatedly told that no-one else is complaining! In case it helps, I have pasted a general email below that you could use or adapt, or just send your own. We need to change this now, to make the year easier, and this is your chance - it will only take a few seconds! If you belong to >1 media club, please mention those too and issues you've experienced. Thanking you for your support Neil (on behalf of the Radio Exec) _________________ (Subject) Lack of access to Media Hub in West Basement is disruptive to IC Radio's activities Dear Henry I am e-mailing you to inform you that I have been inconvenienced by the key card system used to enter the West Basement in the following way. IC Radio members need access to other rooms, in particular the Media Hub and the store room, while the key card is held by the occupant of the Radio Studio, and this is currently not possible unless someone else happens to be in the hub. I understand that it is actually possible to set up a system that allows me to enter the West Basement with my normal uni key card, just as we have differential access throughout the rest of college. This would be both easier for us, and more secure, and I would like to know why it has not been implemented yet. Thank you & best regards, [Your name]

Welcome back to Radio!
by Sucher, Joshua 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hello and welcome back to Radio! I hope you all had a fun yet productive summer and you're all excited to start the new year. This email will be relatively long, but do bear with me as there is a lot of information in here that I am sure you will find useful. Firstly a massive thank you to everybody that helped out on Tuesday - we ended up getting over 80 emails despite being hidden away in UCH. Hopefully we'll have even more fresher's coming along to Beer and Biscuits on THURSDAY 15th at 7PM in RSM. It would still be great to see all of you there, if not just for the free beer, biscuits AND pizza, but also to chat to the fresher's to get them excited about doing radio! PROGRAMMES If you are planning on doing (or starting!) another show this year then you MUST request it, and quickly. To do so then please email Rob, our head of programming (programming(a)icradio.com) and you should get a show slot that's good for you. Remember that of course, in order to do a show you must have membership, so if you haven't already, please do buy it (https://goo.gl/Hj7BCQ) TALK FROM GARETH MITCHELL - 29/10/15 For those of you that haven't already heard, on the 29th of October, the BBC Click Radio presenter, Gareth Mitchell will be giving us a talk. After the lecture we'll all be heading to the union as a society which I'm sure will have plenty of radio-based, and non-radio chat involved. It should prove to be an insightful and fun evening, so please do come along! SOCIAL MEDIA This year we are really pushing to get our social media presence noticed - it draws more listeners to the station, which means more people hearing the words you say and the music you play! If you haven't already then please do "like" us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/icradio) and follow us on Twitter (twitter.com/IC_Radio) When you're doing your show, do promote it on any platform you like! You should have access to both of the above accounts, so feel free to say that you're on air, what you're doing etc etc - just one post on Facebook creates an extra 1000 potential listeners (just don't say anything too contreversial). A more active social media presence also means that people are more likely to notice us and listen - which is beneficial to everybody! One last thing; the studio has been nominated for an SRA! This is great news, and means that soon you may be producing/presenting a show from an award winning studio. Congratulations to everybody that was involved with the development of the new studio. If you have any questions for me, then email me at secretary(a)icradio.com and I'll try to get back to you within a few days. See you all on Thursday, and Long Live the Croc! Radio secretary love, Josh ICRadio Secretary 15/16
