The Winston Studio's are nearly finished, and look amazing.  Just a few small areas to finish off and it will be ready for use.

The radio studio is back up and running, Yay Radio is back on air and can be heard broadcasting from http://tunein.com/radio/YaY-Radio-s152364/

The production studio is looking great, and the desk and computer are installed and ready to go.

Equipment Installation

Now all the technical work has started, and all the lighting is installed and working making my blog pictures much easier to take.

The cabling and panel are being installed in the recording studio and the doors are up.  In the production studio the woodwork has been fitted and wiring and patch panels are being installed. 

The radio station is installed and ready to go.  Just waiting for it to be attached to the network so it can go back on air.

Radio station moving

Yay Radio had begun is move to its new location in the Winston Studios.  It is also better positioned for guests as well with the presenter located nearest the wall so guests will be on their left with more space, especially helpful if guests are playing acoustically. 

The station is of course off air now until the equipment is all reinstalled in the next few days. 

Looking really smart

The building works just about finished now.  Wall fabrics looking good and pine trims making the finish look amazing.  The lighting is in, and so are the new carpets.  Just the doors and windows to fit and the technicians can come in and fit the studio equipment. 

Wall finishes

The walls and insulation are done.  Plastering and painting is finished around the production studio and radio studios, and inside all the studios the wall fabrics are up and looking splendid in red and black.  The new ceiling and tiles are also up and ready for the new lighting to be fitted.

Air-con & Fabrics

Air conditioning units have been mounted, for the recording studio and production studio. 

In the radio studio fabrics have arrived and are starting to be mounted on the finished walls. 

New Viewing Window

The new viewing window had been cut out today so that the engineer in the production studio can see what's happening in the recording studio.

To create the opening the builders had to first cut out a slot for the lintel, which was then inserted and held with jacks.  The lintel is there to hold up the wall above the opening. After securing the lintel in, the main window could then be cut out below.
