News about our studios and equipment

New developments at CCR studios

new-home-builderMajor changes are set to take place at Claremorris Community Radio over the next few weeks.

Studio 3 is set to be renamed ‘Studio 2’, after which it will take on the current usage of the present second studio. In other words, it will be the studio for those who wish to prerecord shows and/or carry out edits on their audio.

Improvement works on the studio will need to be carried out, obviously. The studio’s equipment will also be upgraded.

We are predicting that the work will take two weeks to complete. Thus, we are aiming to have the new studio 2 ready to go by the weekend of August 30th/31st.

The old studio 2 is going to undergo an even more dramatic transformation, as it will become the CCR Live Lounge. More details on that will follow in the coming weeks…

News page for live shows

We’ve created a news page, collating local and national news, sport, weather and some trivia, for the use of volunteers producing live shows.  This can be accessed at www.protopage.com/claremorrisfm but volunteers who wish to use it don’t even need to remember that as it is now set up as the home page on the computer in studio 1.

The little video above outlines some of the features of the news page and how easy it is to use.  Sure, have a look if you have a few minutes to spare.

Online bookings only from this weekend

From this weekend, volunteers can only book time in studios one and two via the online booking form.

You can do this both in the station, via the computer in the Green Room, or anywhere at all – wherever you have internet access and your login details to hand.  You will need those details though as the bookings page is only available to logged-in volunteers.  If you haven’t yet received your login details (or perhaps have lost the email) please contact John, Kevin or Lorraine in the Station and one of us will sort you out.

That said, the computer in the station will be left permanently logged-in so you won’t need to remember your username and password to use it.
