union colours and student radio awards
by Hayes, Aislinn 27 May '12

27 May '12

Hey all! Award season is upon us! Do you know if anyone in radio, on the committee or otherwise, whom you felt put in the extra effort this year? Went the extra mile to help you out? Then why not take 5 minutes to nominate them for a Union award! Nominations close on Wednesday! http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/news/nominations-for-union-awards-2012-… Anyone in the studio these days will notice the whiteboard has become overrun with Student Radio Award talk, and for good reason! They're easy to enter (and some say easy to win ;)...) and there are loads of categories! I've attached a "How-To" guide from a previous ICR member who had success at the Awards, Roushan Alam. Here are the categories, with some particularly relevant ones highlighted below: Best Newcomer Best Entertainment Programme Best Technical Achievement Best Male Presenter Best Female Presenter Best Interview Best Speech Programming Best Specialist Music Programming The Student Radio Chart Award Best Live Event or Outside Broadcast Best Journalistic Programming http://www.studentradioawards.co.uk/awardscategories I can write some killer references too, so let me know if you'd like any help with your entry! Entries are due in about a month or so so there is some time after the end of term too! Lots of love from your friendly neighbourhood station manager, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

media group agm tomorrow 1pm!
by Hayes, Aislinn 15 May '12

15 May '12

Hey all! Please come along to the Media Group AGM tomorrow in Felix back office at 1pm if you'd like to stand for any positions on Media Exec. They're pretty important positions (Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) and look really good on your CV (you have higher authority than club presidents like myself!), and generally don't require as much effort as running a club, so do come along if you'd like to run! I'll be there to support any aspiring radio candidates! Radio love, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

cv-enhancing opportunity!
by Hayes, Aislinn 09 May '12

09 May '12

Ahoy lads and ladettes, Hope revision and exams are going well for everyone! The time has come to elect new members of the Media Executive Group! The Media Executive is a small but important part of the union’s life, and important for the running of your beloved clubs. For those unaware, Media Exec represents Felix, Photosoc, Stoic, IC Radio (WOO) and Magazine society at union meetings and fights tooth and nail for as much money for them as they possibly can, and that’s basically it. Three positions are available and open to all students: Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. The positions themselves aren't too taxing but they entail a certain amount of responsibility around the time of budgeting in the second term. Basically, Media Exec is the next tier of authority after a club chair (i.e., me) for approving big purchases and mediating any issues the media societies have. If you want to be a part of next year’s Media Executive, email me or media chair (media.chair(a)imperial.ac.uk) Put your name and 2 seconders down and come along to the meeting in the Felix back-office on Wednesday (this day next week) at 1pm with your finest 5 minute pitch! (If you can't make the meeting don't be afraid to go for it anyway - we understand this is a very hectic time for everyone!) Radio love, Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13

17 Apr '12

Hey everyone! Apologies for interrupting revision time, but anyone who's hanging around London this week head down to Euston to check out Imperial's band Wolf Tracks in the UNI Music League Final. They need your votes and we can get on the media guestlist, for anyone who'd like to go. I'm not in London but if any of you would like to attend feel free to email Viktoria with your name at the email address below! Radio love! Aislinn Station Manager @ IC Radio 2011-13 ________________________________ From: vik(a)unimusiccontest.com [vik(a)unimusiccontest.com] Sent: 17 April 2012 11:54 To: studio(a)icradio.com; manager(a)icradio.com Subject: RE: The Grand Final Dear IC Radio, I have been in touch with you a week ago about the UNI Music League Final. As mentioned an indie band from Imperial College has made it to the final and will be competing against participants from KCL, UCL and University of Westminster. We would like to ensure each participant gets equal amount of support from their Universities. Therefore, it would be really great, if you could let me know possibilities of promoting this event and Wolf Tracks participation via social media and your website. Also, it would be great if you can attend the final, that will be held this Friday in The ULU Venue, yourself togetehr with other IC Radio staff. You will be able to have a chat with finalists, potentially do interviews and take some pictures for your own use; and overall just enjoy a great nigth full of talented musicians, great vibes and cheap drinks. If you send me a list of names by noon on Thursday (April 19th) I can put you on free media guestlist. I will be looking forward to hear back from you soon! Best regards, Viktoria Rozsokha UML Communication Manager t: 07787761313 e: vik(a)unimusicleague.com<mailto:vik@unimusicleague.com> __ w: www.unimusicleague.com<http://www.unimusicleague.com/> / fb: www.facebook.com/unimusicleague<http://www.facebook.com/unimusicleague> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The Grand Final From: <vik(a)unimusiccontest.com<mailto:vik@unimusiccontest.com>> Date: Tue, April 10, 2012 1:39 pm To: studio(a)icradio.com<mailto:studio@icradio.com>, manager(a)icradio.com<mailto:manager@icradio.com> Dear IC Radio, You may remember we got in touch a couple of months ago to let you know that Imperial College students in indie band Wolf Tracks were taking part in this year's Uni Music League. Well, if you didn't know already, we're delighted to tell you that they've made it to the grand final of the competition on Friday 20th April at London's amazing ULU gig venue. Considering that there were initially 58 bands from 21 different universities in the running at the start, they've done bloody well to get as far as they have. However, I'm sure you're as keen as they are to see them crowned as this year's winners, especially as the prize is an exclusive recording session with mega-producer, Charlie Hugall. He's worked with the likes of Florence + The Machine, Ed Sheeran and Kaiser Chiefs in the past...so it's a pretty big deal in terms of getting feet in doors within the music industry and such. Basically, we are writing to you to see if you could help promote the final to Imperial College students in any way you can because Wolf Tracks will need their support. Every round so far has chosen winners based on audience votes, but this is the time where those votes will count the most. There will be a chance to choose your winner online (at www.unimusicleague.com<http://www.unimusicleague.com/>) but whoever tops the league table will just get ten additional votes at the final. It's the crowd's voting on the night that will be deciding who wins... so you need to help us get as many people down there as possible! As this is the UK's largest student-based battle of the bands, Wolf Tracks really are acting as ambassadors of Imperial College's musical talent. It would be great if you could help back them in return. There's plenty to try and coax fellow students along to the event. Amazing live bands aside (the other finalists Miss Terry Blue (King's College), Shout Timber (UCL) and Ghouls (University of Westminster) are all cracking acts too) we've got DJ Billy Clark from DIY Radio playing some tunes and a discounted bar helping the drinks flow all night. Selected beers and mixers will be priced at a teensy £1.50 which means that it really should be a party to remember. Tickets and information are available on the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/120556164734749 with advance tickets being only £4.50. If you want to wait til the night, they're only £6 on the door. If you want to find out more about Wolf Tracks, head over to their Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/wolftracksmusic (I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you could give that a little plugging too...). Also, here you can find a link to their profile video, which can be used for the promotional purposes on social media: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKK_A6_3Ul4 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVhlBjKGlnQ> In rerturn for your collaboration we will be happy to give you a few freebies and of course we can discuss further possibilities of mutual promotion too. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you wanted to ask us anything, but for the mean time, I am attaching a little interview we conducted with the band so you can get to know them a little better, as well as Press Release, in case you wish to include it in the university media or newsletter. P.S. It would be fantastic, if you could pass this on to Cahal, as I was unable to get her contact details. Thank you in advance. We will be looking forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you at the final.
