Broadcasting History

This is a log of the history of the means by which URY broadcasts.

On Air

Induction Loop

Initially, URY broadcast to campus using an induction loop system on AM 999KHz.

Low Power AM

In the late 90s, URY switched to a LPAM system broadcasting on 1350KHz. This brought a large improvement in reception.

Online

TBC

Radioplayer

2010/11 saw the migration of URY's online simulcasting to the UK Radioplayer platform, being one of the first student radio adopters of the industry standard platform.

On Demand

TBC (when did URYPlayer start?)

On Cable

When based in or around the Physics Building URY was relayed via the Distribution Network of the University on Channel E, shared with YSTV, with typically YSTV using this weekday lunchtimes when URY was closed down. There was no access to the Contribution Network at the time URY moved to Vanbrugh (where the Security Centre presently is) so this ceased on a routine basis in 1981. However, URY was still occasionally later relayed via YSTV, for example for a while as the sound to accompany their Quaxfax in-vision teletext service in 1985.
