Diary!
Welcome to Doris' Diary!!
Find out what's happening at Horizon HQ!
Doris is our old Mac G4 tower who was once an automaton machine. However, as time has moved on and programs have become more demanding, the old girl with her 667Mhz PPC chip and 128Mg ram just keeps a diary of what we are doing on The Horizon... oh and she is also used to record and edit our forthcoming shows!
We'll keep you updated with audio stream information, website information and of course... the latest from la scène musicale

We're Back!!
The Horizon is now finally back on air after some technical difficulties!
The main problem was the constant loss of internet connection. This has been rectified by employing a new server system from another location! Not only has it improved our stability, but it has also enhanced the rich quality sound of our music; a bonus to all!

The Big Move has Begun!
As you may have seen by the page that greets you (our Christmas letter)... we're moving to a new studio!
The Move has already begun with the 'demolision' of our old gaff! Boxes everywhere! But this is due to be complete in two weeks
How Will This Effect Radio Services?
Dance Paradise and The FloorThrilla will recommence after we have completed the move. Untill then, it's 24/7 fresh music!! We expect the two shows to return to our airwaves on 18th and 19th January 2013.
The radio stream maybe off air from time to time. We're expecting a service cut between the 8th & 11th of January. It's expected that service \should be 'uninterupted' after these dates. However, occasional blackouts may still occur. We will try and keep this to a minimum!
DATES HAVE BEEN AMMENDED:
Full Service will be off air from 8th to 16th January 2012
Follow us on Twitter to find out how the move is going!

Doris' Diary!
Yes, we have renamed the latest news feed. Instead of being boring and calling it 'Latest News', we have named this page after our beloved but ancient PowerMac G4 tower!
Doris as she is known, was once an automation machine just running 24/7 Auto DJ services. However, the old girl is getting on a bit! She was bought second hand and her roots go back to the turn of the century. According to https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mactracker/id430255202?mt=12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mactracker, Doris is now about 14 years old and was sold at the whopping price tag of $1600 brand new... That's about the price of a new MacBook Pro 13" today!
So now, the younger Mac is now taking control of our stream and Doris (who can't retire yet!) is now responsible for recording and editing our forthcoming shows which will air later on the same day. Doris still makes audio editing a breeze and will still be in service until she can't possibly run anymore! Maybe we'll wait untill she explodes or something!
Text Only Service
No gimics, no graphics! We've made a Text Only service for those with a visual impairment. It should be a hassle and image free 'navigatable' series of webpages. However, we are still developing the Text Only service to working in a streamline fashion with our main website; but not all website features and services are available. As development goes on, services and features will be more available!
Have you got suggestions for our Text Only service? Perhaps you're a regular user of a screen reader and can help with the development. Feel free to contact us with your contribution.

Finally, instead of taking up most of the front page (although that does have it's advantages) we have built a Latest News page. You should be able tyo find everything you need quite easily. Updates from the admin side of the radio station, how our audio stream is getting on (and our apologies if it isn't) and how our website is getting along! Not to mention, we will let you know when we have some new sounds... a few reviews of the latest grooves for you all!
Sooner or later, I will find out how to get our latest news entries to appear on the front page so you know when we have something new... without being bombarded with our life story!!
