ANNOUNCEMENT: Situation at Blast 1386
Without going into details, Blast 1386 is at the moment in a precarious position. Bob Goertz, the station manager, took voluntary redundancy and left last Friday. Since yesterday, the station has been kept on-the-air by the Student's Union at Thames Valley University in Reading.
In the long term, the university have called into question whether Blast 1386 has a future or not. If it is decided that the station *will* stay on the air, it is still almost guaranteed that a large number of things will change.
As far as I am aware, Grooveline and all other shows will continue for the foreseeable future. The Students Union are meeting with university bosses on Monday 20 February. Hopefully by then the long-term situation will be clearer.
I want to take the opportunity to whole-heartedly commend the Student's Union at TVU in Reading for taking the station into their own hands and keeping the wheels turning at this difficult time.
