Tune in to campus e-radio from anywhere

Kottayam: The pioneer student Internet radio in the country will go online when Baselius College here launches its e-radio www.baselian.org on January 2.

Says Jolly P. Joy, the coordinator of the project: “This will be operated completely by students and we have already put in place a team of 30 students to handle the various departments. We also have the necessary infrastructure facilities to commence operations,” he said. To begin with, they would use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload the clippings so that it could be downloaded as ‘background sound.’ “However, after two months, from March 1, we will be able to go on air, live using audio stream facility,” he said. The campus radio, operated by the Human Resource Development and Training (HRD&T) Centre at the college, had its origin when the students and faculty members decided to take the cue from the highly successful e-radio experiment run by the Aberdeen University Students’ Association of the U.K. This will not be only an IT chain linking the various educational institutions in the State, but a medium with global reach, said Mr. Joy. Anyone with a broadband connection will be able to listen to www.baselian.or from January 2, from any corner of the world.
