You never forget your first radio love, do you?
Congratulations to the wonderful Insanity Radio 103.2 FM who today are celebrating a whole year of broadcasting on a community FM license!
I joined Insanity in 2009 as a presenter when I was only in my first year at University. During my 3 years there I helped in the final stages of the station’s move onto a community FM license and on the 7th March 2012 we celebrated our move onto 103.2 FM. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already!
I graduated from Uni last July, meaning I had to leave behind the lovely Insanity Radio which had (at times literally) been my radio home for 3 years. But it’s easy to see the new Production Board are helping the station to sustain its presence in the local community with a number of exciting events, as well as developing its overall programming content to include its much larger listenership.
Keep up the good work guys! And long many it continue.
Here are a couple of my favourite snaps from the 103.2 Launch Night:
The theme of the night was Space – ‘Mission: Launch’ was the tagline. This was also one of my first live DJ sets – nervous but very exciting!
The wonderful Head of Events Emma Clifton and Head of News Sally Harris making sure the night runs on schedule!
Some of Insanity’s presenters letting their hair down for a night of celebrating.
Insanity finally made the switch onto 103.2 FM in a flash of pyrotechnics! Station Manager for that year David Lamb and Vice President of Communications and Campaigns Sarah Honeycombe were on stage to announce the launch at the stroke of midnight.
Party-goers enjoy the music provided by Insanity Radio DJs in the Main Hall of the Students’ Union on Royal Holloway campus.
