There are also talk-based shows which discuss current affairs. In the evenings, specialist programming covers a wide range of genres including Asian, Blues, Electronic, Hip hop, Rock and classic pop. ==History== The station began as Royal Holloway's Radio Society in 1997 after Ed Harry had sent four delegates (Richard Clarke, Ian Joliet, Simon Delany and Karen Williams) to the annual Student Radio Conference in Edinburgh. Insanity Radio was formed a year later, taking its name loosely from the fact that Royal Holloway's founder Thomas Holloway also opened the Holloway Sanatorium, a hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill, a short distance away.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 It began broadcasting under Restricted Service Licences in 1998, allowing it to broadcast for 28 consecutive days, twice a year on 87.7FM.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 The station initially operated from a studio in Royal Holloway's historic Founder's Building with a satellite dish positioned out of ground view on to the building’s roof. In 1999 the station was forced to move out of the Founder's Building and find a new home. Matt Deegan and Richard Clarke started making lists of rooms in the university that they felt were acceptable to base the radio station. All of these ideas were dismissed, except for a seminar room in the Queen's Annexe. After getting the budget cleared by the Students' Union it was constructed into a broadcasting studio, a meeting room and a production studio, which still operates to the present day. In September 2000, the station was granted a Long-term Restricted Services Licence to broadcast on low-power AM (LPAM) all year round on 1287 kHz. The AM transmitter on 1287 kHz closed on 1 June 2014 after a 128.7 hour marathon broadcast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Insanity Radio 103.2FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
