This leg of the [[Current Broadcast Network]] carries the video and audio feeds from the [[G/046|studio]] through to the [[Broadcast Hub|central distribution hub]] where it is distributed out to the various destinations on campus. It is now the oldest part of the network, having been in it's current form since the station moved to [[G/046]] in 1994.

In 2011, the long-awaited construction of a new SU building on the site of the old dining room and bar resulted in the removal of a section of covered walkway connecting Physics and the now-James College building. The cabling running through this section was cut, severing the connection from G/046 to the rest of the network, and was eventually left coiled on the roof of the new building upon it's completion in June 2012. No attempt was made to reconnect the lines as the network was by then rarely used, with IP distribution becoming the norm. Cabling remains on the roof to this day.
In September 2016, the line coming into G/046 were cut in an effort to tidy up the control room cabling. The exterior cabling is still present.
