Hello all, Sorry about the little scare yesterday. First off, radio is back online. If you had a show planned for today then everything is running as normal. A little bit of information about what happened. Yesterday morning the Rector received a complaint from a "member of public" about offensive material on an IC RADIO show the night before. A guest on the show used the word "Paki". When I investigated it turns out that the word was directed at a friend who is usually on the show, however this has obviously been taken out of context. The offending show has since been taken off the website while it was off-line last night. I want to use this opportunity to remind everyone that they are responsible for what they (or anyone else on their show) says on air. Things that may seem like "banter" between friends may be taken another way by someone else that is listening in. As IC RADIO we are one of the media faces of the University - Something like this could really hurt the reputation of the establishment! Anyway, wrists slapped. The guest who made the comments has written an official apology to the Rector and the member of public, I have written an apology to the Rector. We understand that these things occasionally happen, and so, we are implementing a simple way for the show presenter to stop a radio show being uploaded to the website. If you think that there is something a little dodgy on the show then click this and it wont go up. Finally, just make sure that you use your common sense when making a broadcast. We all like to have fun but please don't ruin it for everyone else. Thanks Dan
