Hi Radiophiles, I know you have had to suffer of the past week or so with technical difficulties but have no fear, the end is here. I have made the following changes: - Recording enabled (starts a minute before your show and ends a minute after the end) - Dashboard fixed & updated (now you can see the messages people send from the website) - Website fixed (hopefully complete, please do email me if it goes down) I hope you have a Happy Monday!

Microphones have been switched around!
by Hayes, Aislinn 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi all! In case you didn't see the update on the IC Radio Facebook page, while we were replacing the microphone stand in the studio, we also switched around the orientation so that the left slider now corresponds to the left mike, and vice versa. No more reaching across your co-host to turn up your volume, which we hope will lead to a lot less awkward accidental touching and airtime battles... So, just to reiterate, if you notice anything broken/functioning less than 100% please let us know so that we can sort it out. Nerd that I am, I actually did enjoy utilising my engineering skills over the weekend - so any issues and we're happy to help! :) Lots of love from your friendly neighbourhood station manager, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

Sustain music update & station maintenance
by Hayes, Aislinn 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Hey everyone! Your radio-loving committee met up today, so we're updating you guys on a few bits and pieces... Music update and maintenance on Saturday We'll be heading down to the studio tomorrow (or rather, today) from about 2pm for a bit of studio TLC to the sounds of TLC. If you have any suggestions for artists/genres you'd like added to the music library, let me know or even pop on down and stick your head in. We'll be checking up on the microphones and headphones and a general tidy up too, probably ordering a pizza, abusing cheap union drinks, etc... Website and recording While, unfortunately, show recording is still down, our very hard-working technical team has managed to get the website and members area back online by hosting the database on the computer in the front of the office, so "don't turn it off or run Military Grade missile detection systems on it or things of a similar nature." Wise words there from Technical Manager Joe. A few small rules to be aware of... To keep the station running at its best, we all have to do our part to look after it and keep it as bangin' as the Croc intended it to be. If you break something, please don't try to hide it or ignore it - just email us or let us know, you won't get in trouble, we do have a budget to take care of accidents but we can't fix anything unless we know about it! FYI for the moment, try not to kick the server underneath the desk in the interview room - it's there until we can hire some professional help to get it up and running again for show recordings. RBS ESSA Youtube Competition Basically, if we make a good YouTube video about our society and get enough hits on it, we can win lots of money from the RBS group-sponsored scheme for enterprising student societies. If you have any ideas or want to get involved in the making of this video (about one to two minutes long) let me know, otherwise next term we'll be knocking around with a camera filming things and spamming the video all over the place. Free Advertising with ICU Cinema ICU Cinema want entertaining! If you'd like to contribute any sets, of perhaps about 10-20 minutes in length, email me for the deets/advice about recording at manager(a)icradio.com! Stuff we want to buy The station is planning on investing in some new speakers for events so that our disco hire kit will be fully equipped to rent out. Pass us on to any friends/events you know that want to hire equipment! We're also sniffing around the idea of investing in a new Mac to install in the studio office specifically for audio editing and jingle creating (and Facebooking etc obviously). We're also still hunting for a decent new drum kit to invest in (with Jazz & Rock), so if you have any knowledge/know of any deals, hit us up! More promotions! Send our Head of Promotions your posters and show descriptions if you'd like some free advertising - we're going to be creating another issue of The Snap so if you have any content like music reviews or features that you'd like to donate, please do! Pre-Christmas social! We will be meeting up for a last hurrah before the end of term, but it won't be anything too fancy as I think we're all nearly at the end of our loans at this stage. We'll let you know the details in the next week or so, but expect a cheap and fun excursion to the pub in the very near future! Membership Anyone who buys membership gets put on the key list, so if you want access buy yours now here! https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/rad…. Love from your friendly neighbourhood station manager, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

IC Radio Technical Mayhem
by Letts, Joseph 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hi Radio Junkies, Unfortunately one of our servers has become rather uncooperative, which means the icradio.com website and members area are not available. The live radio feed can still be found on our temporary icradio.com site. However recordings will not take place in the short term. Please email programming(a)icradio.com when you would like to request a show, and send a playlist to technical(a)icradio.com after it takes place ( subject: [Show Name] – [Date] – Playlist ). I hope this will be fixed within the week. Best wishes, Joseph Letts IC Radio Technical Manager

Jingles Session
by McAdam, Ronan 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hello people of the radio! By now, those of you new to ICRadio will have hopefully been running shows for a couple of weeks; I do hope the inevitable nerves of the first show are long behind you! In order for you to spice up your show (motivated by the hope of winning even more awards at next years SRAs), we will be running jingles sessions during which you can: * Record your own jingles * Upload them onto the touch-screen under your own show name * Hopefully improve some of the general ICRadio jingles So, to give you time to get ideas together, the first jingle session will be held at 12.15 on Monday 19th November in the Studio. Feel free to bring your I-pods, pre-recorded thingys on USBs and scripts. Do not worry if you cannot make this!! We cannot get too many people in the studio at the same time anyway so email me when you want to record jingles (perhaps just before your show?) and I will be willing to help everyone individually. See you then radio peeps :) Ronan McAdam, Assistant Station Manager
