| KCC Live, Liverpool  |
KCC Live has been a station at Knowsley Community College since December 2003. The idea was to create an entertaining, work-based-learning environment which prioritised youth-engagement and work-disciplines, an ethos which had gained the college much recognition in the past. The station has always been run by three full-time staff, and although was always classed as a ‘student station’ by groups wishing to correspond with it, it has always had a professional approach to public service and giving young people a realistic and enriching experience of radio, unrivalled by other student or commercial stations. The aim from the beginning was to create a station which excited and informed, in equal measure. In February 2008, they bought 2 x S2 Solutions Professional Radio Studio Package 2 each with a 25 channel S2 mixer and also bought another 25 channel mixer for another studio. They have a clean record of serving an AM (medium wave) audience and have been granted a 5 year FM licence to broadcast on 99.8FM. http://www.kcclive.com/home.php |

URB began life as an electrical engineering project in 1973, broadcasting on 963AM to campus residences. Since then it has continued to grow, improving the studio and pioneering new technology. In 2001 URB was for the first time able to cover the whole of campus, when they were awarded an 1449AM license. Over the years they've also appeared on FM stereo across the city of Bath, as well as a brief flit with DAB broadcasting across the south-west. From humble beginnings in a cupboard in 2 East, URB moved on to inhabit Studios in Norwood House at the heart of the Students' Union, where they can be found today. There are 3 Studios in the Norwood complex; Studio 1 is the main broadcast studio where most of URB's shows come from, Studio 2 is the DJ studio and also the music department's work room where playlist are compiled every week and studio 3 is the production studio and news room. URB was re-equipped with a Sonifex S2 mixer at the end of 2006. On air they broadcast live from 9am in the morning into the night with a wide variety of programs, from daytime entertainment shows to specialist music. http://people.bath.ac.uk/su9urb/ http://people.bath.ac.uk/su9urb/photos/studioRefurb |
