Auckland University's Radio B, 1404, has been turning out a recognized sound since the new year, and currently broadcasts weekdays 4pm-lam and weekends 7am-lam. Programming is 20-30 percent local music. And music that can't be integrated is aired on Sunday/Monday specials. Radio B is about to decide if it can operate in the third term. It has the licence, but the six at the top' can't afford to fail exams or who will run 'B', as a student station, next year. At the top': station manager Andrew Dickens, assist, station manager Andrew Boak, programme director Andrew Topping, music director Andrew Hawthorne and to prove your name doesn't have to be AndrewV: station engineers David Read and' Alan Watson. : ; Dickens feels 'B' has reached its limit in the present format, but if it were to become full-time, funds would have to come from the university not likely. If private enterprise steps in 'B' would no longer be student radio, losing its freedom : and. identify.. (It's currently financed by the Students Association. All loans are repaid with advertising revenue.) ; Stay tuned! Will 'B' continue to offer Auckland an alternative for new material, local and otherwise? Hope so. Ann Louise Martin
