2009/10

From April 2009 to March 2010, STAR did... Many things. Towards the end of the period, normal procedure was disrupted by the reSTARt.

reSTARt

The end of the 2009/10 period was disruptive for STAR, as the studio underwent redevelopment. Marketed as "reSTARt", this involved newly painted walls, new carpet and furniture, and a new playout system, Rivendell.

This coincided with a new logo. Descriptions of some of the committee positions available were posted at reSTARt is coming. More details, including the Outside Broadcast (OB) team, were posted at Concerning the reSTARt.

Video updates about reSTARt from Dan (Head of Advertising) and Maria (Head of Programming) were uploaded to YouTube and Facebook. These videos inspired the JSM vlogs on starTV.

Freshers' Week

For the Freshers' Week of September 2009, STAR had contests to win free smoothies, gym passes, lunches from Munch (on South Street), a red iPod, and two Starfields ticket upgrades to VIP.

STAR had recorded multiple interviews with artists at RockNess 2009, including Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, Kissy Sell Out, Dizzee Rascal, Pooch (Glasgow), and Orbital. [Source]

STARadioTV

A decade before starTV, an attempt was made to establish "STARadioTV". The project uploaded its first video in April 2009, and its 27th and final video in May 2010. One video from May 2009, titled "STAR Awards Pt. 2" received over 153,000 views, which may have raised suspicion.
