Programme control is a crucial department in charge of all the shows on the station.

They also make sure all the shows and presenters are sticking to the rules, whether GU2's rules, or rules set by OfCom.

Our head of PC this year falls to first year student, Dave; who's learning everything there is to know about OfCom and the rules of the station. If he knows it, so should you.

Co-Technical Manager - Rob Steven - technical@gu2.co.uk
