On Saturday the 21st of Novemeber Forge Radio had to move studios due to the Sheffield Students Union building works.
We moved from our flash studios in the media hub, downstairs to a "back to basics" look studio near Interval café. The video below, outlines the challenge, and the fun we had!

The Forge Radio Alarm Clock

This useful piece of software, admittedly written by myself, was originally designed to boost listenership of the breakfast show on Forge Radio.

The software does a few cool things:

1). It plays the radio stream without needing a web browser open
2). It can wake your computer from sleep or hibernate to play the radio
3). You can tell it to play a song of your choice before playing the radio
4). You can minimise it to the tray to get it out the way
5). Its got a webcam viewer built in to see our studios, and also a direct contact form to get in touch with the studio really easily.

The software is completely free to use, and updates are automatic so you wont ever need to download 'a newer version'.

If your radio station is interested in its own copy of the Alarm Clock, please click here to get in touch.
If you would like a copy of the alarm clock, simply click here to download it!
