Kenyan President Impressed with Synergy Digital Broadcast Centre

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Clyde Broadcasts work with the Kenyan Institute of Education (KIE)  was given the ultimate seal of approval during the recent visit of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.

KIE have been at the forefront of educational development in Africa since its inception in 1968. It has pioneered new teaching initiatives in Languages, Mathematics, Science and more recently IT and Network Technologies.

When embarking on a Digital Radio Project aimed at using radio broadcasting as a means to spread educational materials and create avenues for vocational training KIE selected Clyde Broadcast to develop an integrated 360 degree technology solution for the organisation.

Using the Synergy Integrated Broadcast Centre as the radio studio technology Clyde designed, manufactured, installed and delivered training programmes to KIE staff.

The system was inspected by the President during his opening of the facility and it was well received by the head of state and his entourage. He even took the opportunity to participate in the broadcast as a special guest.

The staff at KIE were able to use the advanced ARCs routing system to seamlessly break from live to pre-record modes without missing a beat.

- 6 Degrees but the snow can’t stop the Clyde Team

The weather has been particularly ‘Scottish’ over the last couple of week disrupting business far and wide. We’ve seen snow, Ice , temperatures of  -10 and a bus sliding sideways down the hill. Stuart  (pictured right) took a break from engineering our new Deskmate News Mixer to play good Samaritan and helped out some stranded motorists stuck in the snow.

The weather hasn’t stopped the team at Clyde though as we’ve been too busy working with customers on radio studio and radio station projects in Libya, Cameroon and Ethiopia and when we speak to them on the phone their biggest complaint is ? It’s too hot.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so it’s always nice to receive them from our customers. Here Andrew from Tudno FM has posted some excellent photographs of our Synergy Integrated Broadcast Centre on Flickr. Tudno FM have radio studios designed and built by Clyde Broadcast and as you can see from Andrew’s pictures the Radio Studios look great.
