Station Founded 1998http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insanity_(radio) The station began as the Radio Society in Spring 1997, after Ed Harry had sent four delegates (Richard Clarke, Ian Joliet, Simon Delany and Karen Williams) to the annual Student Radio Conference in Edinburgh. Insanity was formed a year later, taking its name loosely from the fact that Royal Holloway's founder Thomas Holloway also opened the Holloway Sanatorium, a hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill, a short distance away. It started broadcasting under Restricted Service Licences in 1998, meainng that these broadcasts could only be for 28 days at a time, twice a year, and was forced to operate from a studio in Royal Holloway’s historic Founders building with a satellite dish positioned out of groundview on to the building’s roof. However, in 1999 the station was forced to move out of the Founders' Building and find a new home. Matt Deegan and Richard Clarke started making lists of rooms in the University that they felt were acceptable to base the radio station. All these ideas were dismissed, except for a seminar room in the Queens Annexe. After getting the budget cleared by the Students' Union it was constructed into a broadcasting studio, a meeting room and a production studio, which still operates to the present day. Radio presenter Richard Clarke served as Station Manager from 1997-1999.
