Glaswegian article from 10 October 2002 about Subcity being granted an AM broadcasting license.
World tunes to indie station.
Subcity Radio granted license.
A GLASGOW radio station will be blasting out across the world from next month.
Subcity Radio has been granted a license to broadcast live on the internet, and for a year on 1350 MW in the west end. The Glasgow Uni Students' station will be on air from Monday.
Subcity programme controller Rick Webster, 22, who is in the third year of a film and sociology degree, says the license will raise the station's profile.
"It's a really exciting opportunity. I think 70,000 students will be able to tune inas well as anyone anywhere in the world on the website."
The station survives on an annual grant from the Student Representative Council (SRC) but is seeking support from local businesses.
Rick said, "The Student Broadcast Network has offered to pay us to take three hours of broadcasting every week but I would rather rely on local independent firms to sponsor us."
"We're totally non-profit making."
Subcity has been restricted to just 28 days output per year and the license will enable it to provide a bigger platform for emerging talent.
Rick said, "It's not just Beat 106 or Radio 1 or Radio Clyde - we like to support independent local talent and break new bands that you can't hear anywhere else."
"Bands like the Argonauts, Jo Mango, The Needles, Pupkin, Uncle Bob and DJ Itchy had never done any sessions and came into our studio and broadcast live for two hours."
Catriona Jackson, 21, vice president of communications at the SRC, says working on Subcity is a great way to learn about the radio industry.
"We want to give students as many media opportunities as possible."
With a host of new bands lined up, Rick predicts Subcity will now enjoy its most successful period yet.
'Hopefully, it will become the best student station in the UK over the coming year."
Trend: Business Blogs...

I'm having trouble keeping up w/ all of the new media coverage of the financial crisis. All of the business experts, from economists to finance professionals are now jumping in to explain this mess, offer analysis and deconstruction and opinions. The newest one: the Atlantic blog on Business and Finance
Where there is money, there is money to be made.
The trend of this, media-wise, is also attributed to the lack of trust of other "mainstream media" sources. Most journalists trained professionally do not have backgrounds in business. Being able to report on this crisis has left a hole in the traditional corporate media -- hence the rise in these alternative new media niche outlets.
From media guru Jeff Jarvis, reporting on trust in media as he covers Davos: "Edelman found that trust in business magazines and analysts fell from 57% to 44% and from 56% to 47% respectively. Trust in TV news is down from 49% to 36% and in newspaper coverage from 47% to 34%. Stop on that: Two thirds of people don’t trust newspaper articles."
