Deadlines for production 

 Noon Fridays for audio, so we have the time to produce the news. 

If you're sending Text for us to record - by Thursday evening, but earlier is better. 

If you have a late breaking story that urgently needs to go to air, send us an email and we'll attempt to accommodate you.

Production Material

If you have a story you'd like to see on the news you can supply it either in text form and a member of the News Team will read it out on your behalf, but we encourage Amateurs to send us their stories as Audio Files, best format is 256kBit MP3 in glorious mono.

 Audacity is the tool we use and recommend as it runs under Windows, OS X and Linux. We offer a course on producing material for broadcast which includes learning how to write an audio script, recording the audio and editing the result. email us, newswest at vk6 dot net to ask about a course.
