The past year has seen Radio Lab make substantial changes in the way it works. It has a more structured daytime programming and has invested in outside broadcast equipment which has seen the station cover events such as the Students鈥 Union elections and the annual sports Varsity event.

Other improvements have included an improved online steaming and the setting up of a 鈥榣isten again鈥 section of its website. All this was topped off with a rebranding exercise which saw University students choose a new logo.

Radio LaB is run by student volunteers providing great experience and stepping stone to those considering a career in radio. Current Radio LaB Student Manager Joe Flemons has a network show on Capital FM while previous Radio LaB presenter Sam Darlaston is now a presenter on Kiss FM.

Xtra Factor host and 台湾六合彩开奖记录 graduate Melvin Odoom also started his radio career as a student at the University.

He said: 鈥淢y lecturers were very big on getting me involved in things outside of the degree, like student radio.

鈥淐oming to Luton really gave me that radio experience so when I worked for the BBC Radio 1Xtra as a broadcast assistant, I wasn鈥檛 scared in that environment; I was completely comfortable.鈥
