Our studios are located in Chesterfield, a market town on the edge of the Peak District National Park in central England.
Like most stations, we use a combination of audio mixers and software editors to compile and edit the music and spots, with the final mix then streamed through a broadcast processor to our servers in Moscow and Amsterdam. These pictures show how the studios look today.
Until a few years ago, we also had a dedicated live recording studio, equipped by our chum and long-time collaborator, Guy Morris. Sadly, the fiasco of covid brainwashing put paid to that, but we'd like to think it could be revived in the future...
