Journalism's new industry-standard radio studio opened by the Lord Mayor of Leeds
A new industry-standard radio and podcast studio at Leeds Trinity University’s Main Campus in Horsforth has been opened by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Dan Cohen.
Home to the top-ranked Journalism provision in the UK, the studio replicates those used by leading radio stations and podcast production companies and will allow students to develop their skills in a space equipped with the modern kit and technologies they’ll operate when employed in the field.
The facility features top-grade microphones to capture high-quality audio, the latest radio news software and playout systems, a video control function to meet the rise in demand for visual streaming and recordings of radio and podcasts, and a talkback system linked to the adjoining newsroom.
Designed to be industry compatible, the BBC used the new studio on Tuesday 11 November to broadcast an episode of the Radio 4 PM show as part of Journalism and Media Week 2025.
