Urgent: Scheduling!!
by Kozman, Ramy 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

To everyone who wants a show and hasn't got one yet... If you haven't had training: Come to the remaining training sessions this week! Tuesday noon, Wednesday noon and 1pm, and more if needs be. If you have had training: Email me your SHOW NAME and your preferred slot (see the attached screen shot for free slots). Can't do anything without a show name. Do this ASAP!!! Because Launch Week is on the 1st of November, and we have a massive Felix thingy this week, and the schedule needs to be sent tomorrow latest! Also, if you send Dan a synopsis of your show you might get it into the paper. You can still have a show after this deadline obviously, but you're gonna miss out on loads of free publicity.. So EMAIL MEEEEE, rk607(a)ic.ac.uk<mailto:rk607@ic.ac.uk>. Hopefully all the extensive formatting will persuade you to. Ramy

Hello people! I need everyone to send me all the reviews they've done since exams last year so that i can put them up on the blog and our website -making room for that, will be ready soon. I also want all your interviews, no matter how old, as long as they're in good shape -edited in some way. This is good for promoters to be able to see what we've done and give us good interviews! Do get onto this as soon as you can please and have the file the file titles for gig reviews : 'band live @ venue, date'; for interviews: 'radio member interviews artist, date'. Thanks a bunch and looking forward to getting spammed by all your lovely works!

Radio 1 And Global Radio Tours
by Roush Alam 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi All, After all of the intros and inductions its time to get into the real radio stuff. As nominees at this year's Student Radio Awards we are entitled to a tour of Global Radio (home of capital, heart, kiss, galaxy, lbc and choice) and Radio 1 + a talk from Ben Cooper, deputy of Radio 1/1Xtra. Its happening on 11th November and the details/times are below. Places are restricted and are open to everyone in the whole of student radio; so IC Radio may only get 5 or 6 places, which will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. If you want to go, email me on roush.alam(a)gmail.com with your name, email and phone number. At 4pm tomorrow (Sat) I will send the list off and hope that as many of us can go as possible. This means emailing me does not necessarily guarantee a place, however those who win places will be notified in the next week or two. Good luck. Peace and much love, Roushan Itinerary: Ben Cooper speech at Radio 1: 1.00pm Radio 1 tour: 1.30pm Global Radio tour: 3.00pm End 3.30pm

Howdi all, Hope you've all had a good week. If you haven't signed up to the society then go do so! We can't access our full budget until we fill our membership quota. https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/radio-211/radio-membership/product.html Thank you to everyone who send in a description of their show, the response was far better than I expected! We have decided to wait until next week's Felix for our entry, meaning that if you didn't get a show description to me by tuesday this week there is still time. If you have any questions about it then don't hesitate to email me. Hopefully everyone who is wanting to start up a new show is well on the way to doing that now. If not then it's not too late either, email Ramy at programming(a)icradio.com for more information on how to get started. We are aiming to have a 'launch week' starting a week on Monday. We will be promoting etc a lot for it, so getting your show up and running by then is a really good idea. Sessions. By now you probably all know that the sessions are my baby. They are going really well so far and it's great to have some fresh faces down to see what we do/help out. If you have a passion for live music, like we do, then the sessions are a great way to spend a lunchtime. We are starting to upload the sessions that we're doing to our icradio Recordings bandcamp. There is some amazing material there, go check it out: http://icradiorecordings.bandcamp.com/ Finally, the Music Team is up and running. If you want more info on who they are and what they do then email Kate at music(a)icradio.com Thanks Dan

To existing and future show hosts
by Fowler, Daniel 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, hope things are good icradio are having a special place in FELIX this week, a preview of the shows coming up this year. What I need from ALL show hosts is a little paragraph that sums up what you do. It doesn't need to be anything unbelievable, just a summery of your show. I need this by TUESDAY NIGHT. If you want a show but haven't got it sorted yet then: First, get membership ( https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/radio-211/radio-membership/product.html ) Second, email Ramy ( programming(a)icradio.com ) Third, show I will be putting together this years first "key list" (there will be more to follow), so if you want access to the station yourself it's best to get on this asap. Thanks Dan

[To all those who've heard the story before, sorry for the spam...] Thanks to everyone who came down for Beer and Biscuits! was great to see all the fresh enthusiasm! Here's the part where i give you the chance to be on my lovely mailing list where i let you know about gigs you can go to review (for free!), possible interviews and generally talk about reviewing the music coming in and getting it on our system! So whether you wanna discover loads of new artists or simply go see bands you like for free, let me know and i'll keep you posted about all the cool stuff coming up! Finally, gotta get together and get cracking on making radio sound awesome while show's aren't on, so will be holding our first Music Team meeting this week (i'm thinking thursday or friday lunchtime but will confirm for sure!) That's about it.. basically, great stuff comming up for whoever wants to join - and doesn't get in the way of you presenting a show or doing anything else within radio. Looking forward to seeing you all soon and working towards a great year for IC Radio! Lotsa love Kate -- Kate Agathos - Head of Music @ Imperial College Radio Beit Quad Prince Consort Rd South Kensington SW7 2BB Tel: 07794263552 www.icradio.com

Hi, Thanks to everyone who came along to the event last night. Hopefully you all had a good time and got to chat to a few radio people. We got a lot of questions about how to become a member, the best way is to join up on the union website https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/radio-211/radio-membership/product.html We have two more sessions next week: Colour of Sound and Rosie Doonan at 13:00 on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Finally, a reminder that we have a compilation of the best sessions that we did last year, downloadable for free from: http://icradiorecordings.bandcamp.com/ Thanks Dan
