- Os equipamentos utilizados (notebook, mesa de som, aparelho mini system - caixa de retorno, microfones e gravadores) eram escassos e insuficientes pois muito material licitado pela Instituição ainda não havia chegado. Somente no segundo semestre de 2008 pode se contar com um computador exclusivo para as aulas de rádio, no qual foram instalados software de programas de captação e edição de áudio.
