From April 2019 to March 2020, STAR did... Many things. The position of Head of Production was reintroduced to create jingles (imaging) for the station, which had been completely absent for many years. starTV was created to fill the void left by BubbleTV collapsing a few years before. The colour scheme changed from orange/light blue/white to yellow/black/white. Starchive was created to start collating photos together with the history of the station. Starchive also took over the recording of podcasts from Tay-Tay. The website server was changed from RapidSwitch to DigitalOcean, saving hundreds of pounds in each subsequent year.

Starchive

Starchive was created by Kieran Wallbanks in 2019. Most significantly for shows, this meant that recordings of each show were now available online, immediately. Starchive records podcasts from the broadcast stream, and makes files available at the end of each recording. In contrast, the previous setup involved "Tay-Tay", an old computer in the studio control room running Windows 7, which recorded audio via a direct input from the studio. Show hosts then had to collect the recordings using a USB stick. Tay-Tay had become increasingly unreliable, due to problems with both Windows 7 and the previous website server. The new setup makes it easier to record external broadcasts.
