After raising a petition on campus, support from the Student's Union and an intervention by [[Tom Gutteridge]], [[Richard Whitely]] and [[Greg Dyke]], the society was offered first 600 square feet of space in Wentworth, and then the current 900 square foot studio in Goodricke [[G/046]]. | After raising a petition on campus, support from the Student's Union and an intervention by [[Tom Gutteridge]], [[Richard Whitely]] and [[Greg Dyke]], the society was offered first 600 square feet of space in Wentworth, and then the current 900 square foot studio in Goodricke [[G/046]]. | ||

Whilst major broadcasts like [[Election Night 1994]] and [[Children In Need 1993]] were put out from temporary facilities, regular programme making came almost to a halt with equipment stored in the Physics plant room (S/010), the top of Central Hall, student rooms, and a garage round the back of Wentworth, with [[Karen Bagley]]'s first floor room in Vanbrugh X block (now Grimston House) acting as temporary office space. However, in an attempt to keep members interested, the society did try to keep [[Campus Today]] going on a regular basis, and also made a move towards non-live output such as the [[Fresher's Guide to Campus (or The Search For Wentworth)]]. | ||
