RadioFWD can provide live stream production for on-campus and off-site events — covering camera operation, live switching, audio, and stream hosting. On-campus events are simpler and more affordable since our equipment is already here. Off-site events involve additional planning, site visits, and transport.
Our rates are designed around access and education — not commercial revenue.
Any fees we collect go directly back into supporting RadioFWD programming, equipment, and community initiatives. Our goal is to ensure no student is ever priced out of their creative project. Where fees do apply, they serve primarily as a fair-use mechanism — a way to prevent the studio from being monopolized by a small number of high-intensity users, so resources remain accessible to the broader community.
If cost is a barrier, talk to us. We will always try to find a way to make it work.
