CSMBC

Today is the last day of eDays…how sad. CSMBC had a booth today and we played music. I think it was pretty successful. The winds really just started to kick up in the last hour.

I’ve never really been a fan of Monday’s. Today was really no exception. We had a Board of Publication’s meeting where, among other things, CSMBC was put under the BoP jurisdiction. Whether this is a good thing or a bad will be something that only time will tell. CSMBC did get space in the Student Center, so that part is good news.

I had a bit of a brainstorming session during NHV earlier today and doodled some possible designs for the CSMBC logo. Any thoughts?

Just got back from visiting the helpful folk up at the CU Boulder Radio Station. I took lots of notes and now have a better idea of where we’re heading. It also seems that we will need to keep all our servers within the CSMBC office so we can pipe the audio feed directly to the encoders. So yea, this radio station is going to rock.

Me and Dan Hoberecht met with Derek Wilson and company today to discus CSMBC bandwidth usage and whatnot. In short, we (CSMBC) estimate a maximum bandwidth of 55 gigabits a month, which seemed fine with them. They were also agreeable to not only host the server on campus, but to host it on site. In short, since a large majority of our initial listeners will be on campus, it’s less strain on the network if we stream from within. I also quoted ~$5000 budget for the all the computers which they didn’t even bat an eye at, so our RFP (Request For Proposal) should go through in April without incident.

Justin Regina just game me a call. ASCSM decided to move our hearing for official club status up to this week and we are now a club! Next up is to tomorrow’s meeting with Derik Wilson, director of IT. Then on Saturday we’re heading up to CU to look at their radio station setup, KVCU 1190AM. From their we submit a few requests and hopfully have something up in a month or so. Stay tuned!

Perhaps. I just saw an approved notice on one of the bulletin boards probing the interest for a CSM radio station. Interesting. Possible callsigns (as suggest by myself) include: KCSM-AM, KORE-FM, KDIG-AM, and KDIG-FM.
