The organisation of the station is run by two teams - the planning group and the programming group, although numbers are short and many people are on both teams. The planning group are a group of 12 people who meet regularly and the planning group are responsible for licence applications, technical issues, fundraising and maintaining the website. The programming group is open to all members of the public and is the group where scheduling is discussed. [5]
