 In the early 2000s, HBSA's studios had developed from tape, vinyl and cartridge and now operated out of one studio which had record players, CD players and minidisc players.HBSA now also had a very rudimentary “off air system” which meant that there was output 24/7 and no longer a need for other stations to fill in.During this period HBSA enquired about moving location to Crosshouse which was refused each time.
