History

The station used to broadcast under a Restricted Service Licence on 87.9FM and 24/7 online. However since WYA moved building in early 2016, the station no longer broadcasts online. In 2015 the team also held two separate and popular music events live to raise money to buy new equipment for the station.

Technical Information

Blink FM's studio is based in High Wycombe, currently at the Apollo Center, also the home of Wycombe Youth Action. The team use high quality mixing desks and microphones to present the show, aided by Myriad studio playlist software to cue the music.

Broadcast Schedule

When the station is live, volunteers at WYA present their own shows, normally in two hour sessions. When there are no live shows on, whilst broadcasting, the station will be put on an automatic playlist to supply 24/7 music.
