Dear All. A couple of hours ago we received some excellent news: Ofcom have approved our first 28 day broadcast licence. Synergy will be live from our Bedlington studio: Saturday March 3rd on 87.7FM Hope to have your company then

Found a better SV700 clip. It has it`s clothes on this time: A trained ear tells me this guy is running a damaged tape.

Now you`ve started somthing Threegee. This is the beauty I did my very first edit on; Just listen to that Helical scan head drum. How geeky is that a comment! The Shibaden SV 700. Only mono but steady as a rock! I`ve still got the BASF tape somewhere. Insert edit out was a bit tricky though. There was a 5 sec. difference between audio & video out. Ironically the prog. was about leisure provision in the new WDC & featured footage of the new Ashington Leisure Centre. I was a student, then technician in the TV Production unit at Ashington Tech when I first used this kit. The 640 colour vtr: http://3.bp.blogspot...510+A88+-+3.JPG was rubbish. Used to go through heads like nobodies business. Made a packet for Tyne Video though! I then progressed on to the Ampex 1" highband machine http://www.rewindmus...ampexvr5003.jpg Very Happy Days. Many thanks to my old Lecturer Dave Rixon!

Just a reminder that the "Dark Day" in Bedlington`s history is well documented here in History Hollow: http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/topic/3330-synergy/

Welcome Sue & Chris. We are neighbours, Synergy studios, just over the road & up a bit. 90a Front Street East. We`ll make sure your live music dates get highlighted when we are on air for 28 days, coming soon. We have an open evening on Mon. Feb. 6th. 6:30-8:30pm. If you get a chance pop over.

Pete. Just stumbled upon this thread. This website might be of interest: http://www.transdiff...g/tmc/cityroad/ My first recollections of TTTV are the One O`clock Show live from City Road studios. That was the day I was bitten by the TV/Radio production bug which shaped the rest of my life. Now our local independent TV station comes from a shoebox in Gateshead!

As Brettly & Keith said RAF Typhoon as reported on Look North

Happy Birthday. Bit late but I hope you had a good day!

RAF have put their hands up for it.

Not a drip. Foster & Butters are true professionals

And you sadly missed out on the bacon sarnies too. Which is a shame cos I was buying!

Great day today at 90a. Foster & Butters have been in during the week & gone right through with another coat of paint. The place looks pristine. Put the studio furniture together: brilliant! Rounded the session off witha nice cup of tea & my first sandwich from Eats & Treats. Bliss!! Open Day coming soon! Hope to have you `round

Welcome to the Forum Paul. Great background story. Have a look at History Hollow for more Bedders stuff.

No. It could be worse. Your Big End could have gone too!

Merlin. Things are great. Building work is finished bar a door or two to varnish. It`s not far off now. Good to have you back

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everybody. All the Very Best to You & Yours. From John, Colin, Neal & John. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CslrRxyGZm4 PS. The oilcloth is all down

Dear All. More good news: We got the leccy in today! British Gas contractor joined us up to the supply this morning. A day early. Their appointment wasn`t until tomorrow! Many thanks to Brian for saving the day & letting them in. And there`s more: The flooring guys are in laying lino & carpets. Do they still call it lino or am I showing my age! Anyhoo; rapidly getting there. 2012 can`t come soon enough.

We`ve got the decorators in TODAY! Bedlington Station`s very finest, Foster & Butters are currently in the studio at 90a Front Street East beavering away. Stick your head in & say hello to Kevin. Local professional photographer & SNRG member Margaret Eagle-Clark has designed our colour scheme. Many thanks also to Brian Oliver & Malcolm Robinson for their continuing hard work! Goodness me. Is that light I see at the end of the tunnel

Nice seasonal piece of animation

Dear All More good news on the funding front. Tonight West Bedlington Town Council have kindly given us a second funding grant. For £500! This will go towards buying studio equipment such as mics, headphones etc. Many thanks!!
