TMCR 87.9FM
Thorne & Moorends Community Radio

 

The studio was fully fitted to broadcast standard.

It comprises of a Soundcraft RM105 mixing desk, the flight deck of the whole studio. There are three Denon DN-C635 CD players, three Tascam MD-350 Mini-Disc players, three microphones for the presenter and guests, options to bring in IRN News every hour, put telephone calls on air and a computer driven system for additional music choices, which doubles up as an automated service when no presenter is on air.

It has been designed to be mainly one person operated. They load up the music to play, operate the equipment and control the show. There is room to seat a couple of guests for interview but it is mainly the one presenter who will be in the studio itself.

The studio can operate 24 hours a day, to provide an overnight service that still identified as the local station.

There were adverts, which help to cover the cost of putting the station on air and licensing. We would like to work with local businesses to develop an ongoing relationship in this area.
