Case Study: Swindon 105.5 achieves real-time team communication and up-to-date news with Fugo

UK Community Radio Station Swindon 105.5 Uses Digital Signage To Update Their News Team

Swindon 105.5, a UK community radio station on air since 2008, faced COVID-19 restrictions that forced reduced studio occupancy and staggered volunteer shifts, making coordination and timely news updates difficult. To address this, they turned to Fugo’s digital signage platform to run screens in their studios and keep teams informed.

Using Fugo, Swindon 105.5 remotely controls screens and updates playlists with Google Slides, BBC News and RSS feeds, and YouTube livestreams to display station announcements, headlines and COVID PSAs. The Fugo solution allowed frequent remote updates so volunteers stay current during staggered shifts, helped maintain their 24‑hour broadcast, and ensured presenters had up‑to‑date local and national stories for on‑air use.
