Power failure - now fixed :)
Edit:
Aaaaand, we're back. Normal service is now resumed.
Look out for a new website and other exciting developments over the next few months (**rolls eyes mysteriously**)
----
Evening all. I'm afraid to say that we've had a power failure here at Culture Lab Radio Towers, which means we'll be off-air for a wee while. I can't say how long it'll last, but I'll be sure to update you all here, on Facebook and on Twitter when I can.
In the meantime, why not listen to Ellie and Oliver at http://www.ellieandoliver.co.uk/ ? They really are rather good :)

Sidney Grove Sunday returns
After a few weeks break from groundcutting and edgebreaking netcasting (without any fish being hurt) I have been prompted to return to your Sunday morning ears by the saddest event.
On Thursday evening John Kings died - you don't know him but I do. He spent the last 30 years working to improve the lives of rural Africans, latterly through the organisation run by himself and Mary his wife in South Africa, www.tsogang.org - I was privileged to help that work for a few weeks in 2009 after leaving Culture Lab.
John was an amazing bloke and we shared a love of music some of which I would like to share with you on Sunday.

New New New
New things!
===========
You might not notice it, but today we've introduced a whole raft of changes to the station, which will help it to run more smoothly and our DJs to do even better shows!
- New streaming server!
We've been beavering away for months building a brand new streaming server, using the LiquidSoap streaming programming language (http://savonet.sourceforge.net/) This will improve the way we handle shows from remote locations and automatic playlist generation when there's no one actually live on air.
Plus!
- New broadcast mixer!
- New studio iMac!
- New Mp3 DJ control surface!
- New shiny website (coming soon....)
Yes, we're also hoping to launch a fresher, cleaner website to go along with all these other changes, which will highlight our research role as well as providing quick access to the stream.
