Bodmin College Radio

Bodmin College Radio is an internet radio service aimed primarily at students and staff at Bodmin College, Cornwall. It plans to expand into a community service in the near future. They work closely with Poltair School's Inferno Radio and has links with Radio St Austell Bay, Pirate FM and Atlantic FM

It started broadcasting on 14 March 2008.

History of Bodmin College Radio

The project was started in December 2006, when Aaron James (the current station manager) and the now retired Director of Science Larry Morris collaborated with the idea of setting up a college radio. Larry Morris had been toying with the idea for a while and Aaron was told of his intentions by his Media Studies teacher, Ruth Saberton who suggested he spoke to Mr Morris.

When Mr Morris decided in February/March 2007 that he wanted to retire, Aaron James took sole charge of Bodmin College Radio and brought in his own team headed by Roy Vannoey, a college administrator and deputy headteacher Graeme Plunkett.

Bodmin College Radio was set up with funding from Bodmin College with advice provided by Pirate FM, Atlantic FM, Radio St Austell Bay and Bodmin Town Council.

The Launch

Although an official, big launch involving Atlantic FM is planned for April/May, Bodmin College Radio started broadcasting using basic microphone and sound equipment on 14 March.
