Future ideas

Campus Jukebox

• A separate stream from live shows with continuous music queue. Anyone can add to the queue via song request. Local businesses can play this stream instead of the main stream with live shows.
  • The main argument against playing STAR in local businesses is that talkshows (and their potential unpredictability, due to the lack of Ofcom regulation) tend not to work as background audio.

STAR App

• STAR had a mobile app around 2012, but it fell into disrepair. A new app is currently in production.

Studio Livestream

• Live video from the studio, embedded on the website. Shows can opt-out by turning the camera off.
  • If streaming video via YouTube, will need to sync with delayed audio directly from standrewsradio.com, to avoid copyright strikes.

Tech Videos

• Playlist of videos on starTV, showing both basic and advanced studio tech training.

Studio Computer Whitelist

• Give the studio computers access to Wikipedia, Twitter, and a weather service. This will allow us to use more of Myriad's features, e.g. automatic song information retrieval.

Roof Gig

• Get a band to play on the roof outside the studio. May need to wait for building manager to become intoxicated enough to agree.

Bring back launch parties

•  !

Set a Guinness World Record in the studio

• This is half an idea.

Compilation CD

• Make a compilation CD/vinyl/cassette of local/student musicians. A playlist of suitable music is already on G'rilla Joe's Spotify account.

A new mixer with motorised faders and remote control

• This requires a lot of money.

Silence Detection

• Automatically switch to AutoFade if X seconds of silence are detected on the stream.
