Only 2 years later and Smoke have given themselves yet another brand-new website, looking even fresher than I remember mine being. It has lots of new features keeping it up to date with (and often better than) the technology of commercial stations. So far all the incarnations of Smoke Radio’s websites have been built using free open source software, but due to budget limitations all the web content is hosted by a third party which Smoke have to pay for out of their budget which seems to be getting smaller by the year.

I’m sure Smoke Radio aren’t the first student radio station to have clashes of interest with their University and their Student’s Union. But some Universities and their students unions can fail to see the importance their student station plays in putting them on the map, not just in the eyes of the radio industry, but of their prospective students to.

Anyway, I am beginning to ramble now, but I hope that comment has made your blog a slightly less lonely and a more interesting place!
