This fucked over our radio station. Two GMs ago we had a guy that was determined to leave a legacy so he pushed through a new system that we didn't need or want, without consulting the rest of the board or our faculty advisor. Right now the board's primary concern is cleaning up the fallout, because the new system and its shoddy implementation pretty much fucked our image.

There are at least 3 open source options way more suited for college radio...yikes. Good luck with that, feel free to send me a PM if you're ever looking for an outside opinion on this kind of stuff.

'ppreciate it. Unfortunately after a $60k investment I think the university would kill us if we tried to switch to anything else.

Oh, totally. Moreso the navigating your image side of things at this point. What you have is what you have for the foreseeable future.
