DNG

Digital News Gathering By Unity 101

Developed to allow ordinary people to broadcast content from their place or work or home and to allow people who have little or no radio experience to undergo a small amount of training to enable them to broadcast live on Unity 101 Community Radio

We have installed 5 DNG units and are currently broadcasting during the Drive Time programmes at 4.30pm from:

Monday: Southampton City Council - Media Department
Tuesday: The Point Theatre, Eastleigh
Wednesday: The Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Thuesday: The Marlands & West Quay shopping centres
Friday: Winchester Discovery Centre

The DNG consists of following items:
The installation is very simple and straightforward. All it needs is one 13 amp and ethernet sockets. Once connected it can be put away or hidden by a office table.

• At the point of broadcasting simply switch on the mains which sends a signal to our studio that you have switched on the system.
• Place the microphone stands on the table, adjust the height of the stand to suit you.
• Place the headphones on your head; you will then hear whatever is being broadcasted live on air.
• DNG allows you and another guest to have live on air chats as well as interacting with a presenter in our studio.
• Your cue is taken when the jingle is played with a music bed for you to talk over and air your message.
• 6/7 mins of live on air conversation including interaction with the studio presenter.
• DNG allows an organisation to share their message on a regular basis to our target audience.
• The content is prepared by yourselves with all news and events that are happening.
• Whilst this is broadcast once a week during the Drive Time show at 4:30pm, it can be used at any time.
