by Alam, Roushan 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi, We never normally plug shows on here, however later on today IC Radio will be hosting The National Student Radio Chart. The chart is compiled from data from student stations across the country, the chart is then simultaneously broadcast across all participating stations across the country.A different station hosts the chart each week and finally after 38 years of waiting, its coming to South Ken. If you can, do listen in to Dan, Chris and I from 3-5pm on icradio.com, show your support on the email studio(a)studentradiochart.com and lets make a noise that the rest of the country will remember. I won't lie, we could die on our arses, but if we do, be it infront of all of you. An extra note about the AGM - fancy having a role in the station this year? Nominate yourself on the forms in the offices and then please please please come on Weds night for the big AGM to cast your vote and have a proper radio partay. Peace and love, peace and love.

Hi guys, As you may have noticed by the billboard advert on our shiny new website - www.icradio.com - we are covering this years Varsity. The general plan is to have a big radio show covering the results from the day and getting interviews with various teams and captains in the studio. If people are going to be already going to the games then let me know and we could get some roaming reporting going. We will be broadcasting live from the big rugby game at 19:30 The main radio show will start from 18:00, we'd love to get as many people down as possible and have a really good time. We'll get some beers and drinks in and have a bit of a party. Cheers Dan

Playlist update and more...
by Agathos, Catherine 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

So, following my previous email, we have now made it easier for you guys to select a prefered track and for us to find it :) There's now an additional field called 'Highlight (internal)', it is a tickbox people can check to highlight the track and this will only appear on the members page, i.e. won't affect how your playlists appear on your show's page on the website. So put up your playlists if you haven't yet, and from now on tick the box next to the track you want us to put on sustain! Just to remind you guys, sabbatical elections are still open till midnight tonight. If you haven't voted, please do as you get to donate 25p to the club or society of your choice after voting on: http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/elections it might not appear as much, but does make a difference if many of you choose ICRadio! (If you're stuck on who to vote for, you can check out interviews with some of the candidates on the last Flagship Show: http://www.icradio.com/schedule/226607 ) Finally, we'll be holding our own elections for committee positions at the AGM on Wednesday 24th, your chance to run for a committee position if you wanna get more invlolved next year or just come down for some radio fun and free drinks :p Lots of love, the Music Team

PLAYLISTS!!
by Agathos, Catherine 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Yes indeed, it is that time of the week when I nag to you about SUBMITTING YOUR PLAYLISTS!!! I think you all know the importance of this, need to keep companies happy, so that they keep sending us free stuff etc, etc. BUT also so that you guys help us out with updating SUSTAIN It really does help if you just indicate a good song on your playlist, rather than us having to choose 15-20 songs out of the entire stuff played over the previous week. So, for those of you who have put up your playlists, you get brownie points! Keep up the good work but PLEASE remember to mark one (or more) good/favourite/most interesting track -put an asterisk or something... for those of you who have yet to submit your playlist, bad form! please do so soon and every week then after and same as above about special tracks... for those of you who have no idea of what i'm talking about, get back to me and i'll tell you exactly what you gotta do! lots of love, The Music Team PS: PUT UP YOUR PLAYLISTS!!

Popularity Contest Time Again...
by Fowler, Daniel 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Morning guys, Hope everything is going well. Just a little note to try and get you to vote in this years Sabbatical Elections. Although it may seem pretty irrelevant to 95% of the student populous the guys that get voted in really do have the power to do this that could help radio. I'm not allowed to try and influence voting in anyway but watch out for a few radio members in the candidate lists. Also, for everyone that votes you are given a free donation to a club or society of your choice, you know where to send it! It's only 25p a person but as Tesco says... Log on here to vote - https://www.union.ic.ac.uk/vote/login.php As well as the Sabbatical Elections we will be holding our AGM on Wednesday 24th March. We really need to get as many people down as possible as if we don't have 2/3 of our membership attending the meeting it is officially void. We will be having drinks etc afterwards. If you wish to run for a committee position next year then there will be posters up around radio very very soon..... Cheers Dan Station Manager IC RADIO

Exciting Times Ahead
by Alam, Roushan 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Why, hello there. Just a quick email about some rather exciting things happening in radio in the next couple of weeks that we really want you to be part of. 17TH MARCH 2010: IC RADIO VARSITY SPECIAL Varisty is the biggest sporting event of the year and at IC Radio we like to cover it in true sports (ahem) journalist fashion. Like last year, we plan on presenting a marathon show from 5-11pm, which will feature scores, updates and match reports from the 20 games happening on the day PLUS live commentary on the JPR Williams Trophy in the evening. Where do you come in? We need people to be our roving reporters at the grounds, bringing us score updates, interviews with players and goal flashes as they happen. We'd like people in the union, people on the buses and people in the crowd who are able to come on air via their mobile phone to bring the atmosphere of this great sporting event onto the radio. Last year it was brilliant and we would like to do it again. If you would like to be part of it hit me with a message (ra708(a)ic.ac.uk) and we will get you involved. The night usually ends in a KFC bargain bucket fueled piss up. Meet in radio at 5pm. 24TH MARCH 2010: IC RADIO AGM I will be honest with you, this is a piss poor name for what is a classic night in IC Radio's calender. Its where you get to have your say on the future of the station by standing and electing people for committee positions. Here is how it works: >BEFORE THE NIGHT: You will start to see forms go up in the studio where you can nominate people for the committee positions. Details of the positions and the beautiful people that held them this year can be found at http://www.icradio.com/about/people >ON THE NIGHT This is our election night. We all get together from 7pm in the studios and run through each of the positions, have a mini hustings and then get down to the vote. The committee members are then announced on the same night before we launch into another fried chicken based after party. For details fire a quick email to the station secretary, Katie at clc08(a)ic.ac.uk. Look forward to seeing you soon. Peace and love, peace and love, Roush x

Sabb Election special- tomorrow!
by Clemence, Catherine 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hey Radio kids, If you've been around college these past couple of days, you've probably noticed the frantic 'campaigning' of the group of people applying for union sabbatical positions (if you didn't know, they take a year out to work in the union, trynig to improve stuff for us). Okay so if your kind of radio has a political streak, or if you're interested in radio journalism, even if you just want to see them squirm when you ask them difficult questions, come down to Radio tomorrow at 2 for our Sabb election special show. The idea is that we give each of them 5 minutes to run off their spiel and for us to question them (traditionally asking the most probing questions we can). Hope to see you there- let's interview some candidates! Katie

Show Playlists!!
by Agathos, Catherine 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello dear radiopeople... Just wanted to remind you guys that you gotta remember to submit your playlist after each show, this isn't only for our records and your show's publicity (can put it up on your show's page) but also so that we are on good terms with the labels sending us free music!!! It's really easy to do and you even get reminded to do this after each show so please, take a couple of minutes and put it up. Sustain (the non-stop music system when shows aren't on) is now being updated every week and so we want to put up music that represents the station, something from each show. So basically, when you submit your playlist, put an asterisk or some kind of marker to highlight your favourite/most interesting/most representative track and that's what we'll put on sustain the following week. Here's also another chance to advertise your show(s). We can easily add a recording plugging your show whenever any of your tracks play (something along the lines of 'selected by presenter(s), tune in at XX time for the Show'). I WILL bug you every week if you don't put up your playlists (AND mark relevant tracks) so just DO IT!!!! Lots of love, Music Team
