Scratch Radio is a community and student radio station based in Birmingham, UK. They are one of the only student and community radio stations in the country, broadcasting online via their website, and will start broadcasting on DAB in the 2015 summer. Their studios are located on the ground floor of the Parkside Building, part of City Centre Campus of Birmingham City University. ==History== Scratch Radio was conceived in 2003 by the students of, and community around, BCU (at the time the University of Central England) under the supervision of the communications officer Giles Bowmer and Student Activities Officer Clare Edmondson. The station is unique in the city as it accepts volunteer staff from both the University and the local community, the name was created to stand for "Student and Community Radio at the City's Heart" and was officially formatted ''SCRatch''. This practice has lessened in later years for clarity when reading the website or e-mail addresses on air. After the first broadcast in the KicFM trailer whilst premises were being fitted out, broadcasts in the Scratch Radio studio took place in November 2003 as a web-broadcast only. This was followed by a simultaneous FM and web-broadcast in May 2004, February 2005 and February 2006; each of these broadcasts lasted one month under a short term RSL. Since February 2006 all broadcasts have been online only, however the station now broadcasts 24 hours a day. The station was relaunched in September 2010, at the same time as the newly refurbished Students Union. For the first time, all 3 of the Unions Media Groups were be housed in one place with a brand new studio for Scratch and an adjoining office for all 3 groups including Tiger TV and Spaghetti Junction - the University's student magazine. In 2013, the media groups moved to the university's new Parkside building, during this time, all groups were rebranded with new logos to "Scratch Media" with Tiger TV and Spaghetti Junction being renamed to Scratch TV and The Scratch (magazine). Another group was created for photography "SnapScratch." In 2015, the station received an ofcom trial licence for DAB, which started at the end of August in 2015. 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「Scratch Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
