So here it is... The first official blog from the sound of student life, Radio Hud!
First of all, as we approach a new year of broadcasting, here's a look back at the 2012-2013 broadcasting year.
We had to postpone the start of broadcasting for a couple
of weeks due to technical issues. However, when we started broadcasting
we welcomed back shows from the 2011-2012 broadcasting year, including the likes of 'Wicked Wednesdays', 'Student Entertainment Weekly' and 'That Tuesday Evening Show', as well as a whole host of new shows, which developed superbly as
we went through the year. Josh Carters' Alternative Lunch, Out The
Box, Team Talk and The Callum Wade Show were all great
additions to the station, and only got stronger and developed
further as the year went on.
Instead of a whole load of different shows first
thing in the morning like in the 2011/12 broadcasting year, we created
'Radio Hud Breakfast' which was a real success. We're sure that
it will continue to be a success when we return to the
airwaves.
The 2012-2013 broadcasting year was by far the best year the station has seen since its launch in 2009. We saw improvements across the station, including reaching an agreement
with the Students' Union meaning we are able to broadcast in the SU
Cafe all day, every day in the next broadcasting year. March saw some of the best programming
the station has ever seen, as Radio Hud covered the Students' Union
elections. Live programmes with the candidates for each position being grilled by our very own Pete Crowther and Danny Parkinson, coverage of Q&A sessions, podcasts AND coverage of the big night itself - RESULTS NIGHT! The team involved did a brilliant job, and it's something we're looking to do as a station again in the coming broadcasting year.
Looking to the coming broadcasting year, it's
going to be a big one for the station, as we will be relocating to a
brand new studio in the LLC building at some point in 2014. Add that to the plans we have for events, SU Election coverage in 2014, and of course FRESHERS!
Freshers-wise, we've got loads going on. We'll be in the SU Bar during Freshers Week, showcasing some of the Radio Hud talent, and we plan to broadcast all our Freshers activity through our online stream! Make sure you come along and say hi to us, and if you're interested in getting involved in the station, our team will be happy to chat to you a bit more about who we are, what we do, roles available and how you can listen to us. Towards the end of Freshers week, there will be HudFest, which is always a great event, and we'll be involved with that too, but you'll have to wait on further details on that one!
Thanks for giving our first 'Station Blog' a read!
