STUDIO REFURBISHMENT

Studio B has been updated with a new tabletop, mixing console and carpet. All completed within the allocated week.

A huge thank you to Jim Parish from Hobart FM for assisting and getting it together. There are some small minor adjustments still being made and a small job to provide talent headphones yet to happen.

The few presenters who came to the training days on 17^th & 18^th remarked how similar it was to the old desk, and reasonably easy to operate.

The new Studio B console has been in service from 19^th May.

To finish the overhaul, Studio A will now be decommissioned on 29^th June after Classical Encounters with all programs then emanating from Studio B….

and hopefully both studios will back in service a week later on 7^th July.

Until then, presenters will continue to familiarise themselves, and often use, the new Arrakis console in Studio B

The new consoles were purchased, in part, via a grant through the Community Broadcasting Foundation

and for the trivia minded amongst us …. this console was installed on the very day the old consoles were purchased 30 years ago.
